    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Directed and written by Ilgon-Song the genre is horror/ ghost / murder mystery/surreal thriller ,hell its hard to pin down. but it is similar to A tale of the two sisters and all i can tell you the plot has several twists that will require a second viewing for sure. Its a must see fim that i highly recommend.

    No one can do sad movies like the South Koreans..pretty heart wrenching at times with a healthy dose of mystery

    Korean films are pretty mental it has to be said but they deliver a lot in terms of psychological horror .

    Whilst 'spider forest' isnt as good as 'oldboy' or the amazing 'tale of 2 sisters' its worth a watch for its creepy atmosphere and ambigous climax which like the other films mentioned will have you debating what actually happened for a while afterwards.

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

    An interesting film to watch initially. The lead character is really confused especially towards the end when you find out that the house where the murders took place was actually where the lead character grew up. I mean come on. It lead you to believe Ming-Su live there and died as a child in the forest but no, infact she died much later (i'm assuming as an adult for she is an adult ghost). Question is who's the wife of the lead character, was is Ming-Su?? The only clue to the ending is when they are up in the air on those ski carriages and Ming-Su trys to explain spider forest. That if you died and are not remembered or loved you stay trapped in spider forest for it is a place for trapped spirits. Then later says to him outside of the cave 'remember me' is this so she can be freed. Couldn't he just die and they live happily ever after as ghosts, but wait a minute, isn't he already dead and trapped in spider forest, hence why he's so drawn to the place??? Who knows, who cares I just can't work this movie out which is extremely annoying and a real shame because I was really drawn in and intrigued. I may have to watch this movie again.

  • Excellent Ghost Story

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By LINDYLOO (5 reviews) from Cannock , 08 Feb 2011
    Two stars for this movie seems so unfair. My husband was dubious about watching this movie which was described as a murder mystery but it was so much more. You have to pay attention, no going out to put the kettle on but I can assure you if you like a good ghost story you will be rivited to your seat. Sub titles do not get in the way of your enjoyment and you will be happy you decided to give this a go. It is a bit grusome in parts. An excellent performance by all the actors and as they are not well known in this country it is even more believeable. Enjoy.........
