The series that began with Whispering Corridors in 1998 continues in 2005 with Whispers, this fourth installment in this popular horror franchise.

Like Whispering Corridors, Memento Mori (1999), and Wishing Stairs (2003) before it, this fourth movie centers on a chain of ghostly occurrences at an all-girl high school.

Also known by such alternative titles as Voice and Voice Letter, this new film follows the story of Young Eon (Kim Ok Bin), a timid high school student who dies mysteriously while singing in the school’s music room. But even in death, Young Eon’s voice continues to be heard by her best friend, Sun Min (Seo Ji Hye). Although startled by this supernatural development, Sun Min adapts rather quickly to the situation and tries to uncover the reasons for her friend’s untimely demise. But Sun Min’s absolute faith in her dearly departed friend is soon shaken when a plague of mysterious deaths start to occur on campus! Are these murders Young Eun’s doing? Or could the culprit be someone far more sinister? Featuring appearances by actresses Kim Seo Hyeong and Cha Ye Ryeon, filmmaker Choi Ik Kwan’s Whispers is the rare sequel that differs just enough from previous installments to stand on its own, yet still retains the basic elements of the original to lure faithful viewers back for more! Absolute horror lurks around every corner in this fourth addition to the Whispering Corridors saga!

On his way home one night he encounters a beautiful but completely smashed young woman who causes a scene in the subway, calls him "honey", and then passes out. With the eyes of the other subway passengers upon him, he has little choice but to take responsibility for her. Thus begins his relationship with the at-times charming, at-times violent damsel who steals his heart.
Much of the film is structured around the bizarre antics of Kyun-woo's newfound girlfriend. After she passes out yet again, Kyun-woo looks at her blissful face and promises to himself that he will save her, and right whatever it is that troubles her. This proves to be much more of a challenge than he expects.

Synopsis:

The story is based on a real gossip some years ago in Korea, and focusing on the eternal, condition-less love between a naive peasant and a bereft ex-prostitute whose past is somewhere under the body of many male CLIENTs. Every love has its own silver line and every lover has his/her own attitude; But, the love between this couple is too candid to be understood but to be appreciated. As no scientific paradigm cannot define THE LOVE, this movie just illustrates what love gotta be even under extreme background.

Nevertheless, the emotion of love affair and the instinct of affection should be separated. This movie, regrettably, fails in the depiction of love itself but concentrates on the struggle for keeping his/her aficionado toward each other against all social rules and interference. Love will shine when it’s against all odds. However, these odds are too exaggerated in the movie to be overcome by love itself, otherwise making the love tattered with uncompromising and painful memories.

Director’s endeavor to gather every piece of elegiac elements is too evident, and the performances of two actor/actress are very easy going, enough to make audiences lost in the clearly “schematized” sadness.

Synopsis:

Six twenty-something characters are invited for a party by their elementary school classmate Mi-ja, who has been caring for her former teacher Ms. Park, now infirm and wheelchair-bound. The guests turn out to be a motley crew of losers and basket cases, however. Worse, each of them bears a serious grudge against Ms. Park. Sun-hee, traumatized by the teacher’s public taunting of her baby fat, has become addicted to plastic surgery and suffers from bulimia. Park Hyo-jun ruined his leg while being punished by Ms. Park and had to fold his childhood dream of becoming an ace baseball player. Se-ho and Eun-young, now a couple, are still struggling against the memories of insults and put-downs regarding their poverty. Even Myung-ho, an obvious teacher’s pet, is trying to medicate away the nightmares involving Ms. Park’s creepy “affection.” And wouldn’t you know it, she used to keep her horribly deformed child in the basement, whose current whereabouts are unknown. Soon, someone wearing the kid’s paper-cut rabbit mask starts to make salami and head cheese slices out of the characters (credit to koreanfilm.org for sypnosis).

Synopsis:

A beautiful movie that show the childrens perspective on a disease as cancer or tumors.

Han-yi (Park Ji-bin) and Han-byul (Seo Dae-han) are both brothers. Han-yi who is the youngest (9 years old) and also the most annoying brother does not treat his older brother (12 years old) properly and plays pranks on him. But one day, Han-byul is diagnosed with a brain tumor, undergoes brain surgery, and is hospitalized in the pediatric ward. While their mother (Bae Jong-ok) is busy taking care of Han-byul, and their father tells Han-byul to write down everything bad that Han-yi does in a red pocketbook, Han-yi is noticing he doesn’t get as much as attention as he wants from them. When Han-byul also meets another kid Wook-yi (Choi Woo-hyeok) in the ward who is also diagnosed with the same illness, Han-yi feels that he is not getting enough attention anymore as he used to, thus starts to worry…

A very emotional movie, from the perspective of a little kid that goes trough different emotions because his brother is in the hospital and he doesn’t get enough attention anymore from everyone.

The story and the cinematography are just brilliant. Even if there is a little fantasy in it, I still think it’s very nicely edited into the movie, and doesn’t bother at all.

Synopsis:

South Korean maestro Park Chan-wook concludes his Revenge Trilogy with the operatic, mesmerizing Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. Unlike the first two films in the trilogy - Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Old Boy - this time around, the hero is a heroine. On the heels of her release from prison, Lee Geum-ja (Lee Yeong-ae) embarks on a mission to track down the man responsible for her imprisonment, which also resulted in her being forced to give up her daughter for adoption. Hardened by years in the penitentiary and endlessly fantasizing about the right way to exact revenge, she enlists the help of former cellmates to accomplish her goal. But what she uncovers is a secret so horrifying that no revenge seems fitting. Employing the same techniques (symphonic music, electrifying cinematography, sharp editing) that made Old Boy such a thrilling cinematic experience, Park Chan-wook concludes his trilogy on a somber note. Beginning as a flashy, almost lighthearted spectacle, the film gradually reveals itself to be a poignant commentary on the futility of revenge. Fortunately, the director's sheer audacity and technical virtuosity keeps it from succumbing to total darkness.
