| User ReviewPrivate UGreat new k horror which follows all the typical plot devices used in asian horror films. this one is a bit artsy and has wonderful plot/character development. |
| User ReviewTim MI love this movie. Great way of portraying the legend. |
| User ReviewChristina KAn interesting tale that kept me interested until the very end. Unlike many other horror films, I was not able to guess the end straight away - the acting was strong and I was impressed. |
| User ReviewSusan RAn excellent horror film. I was expecting a typical Asian horror film, like Ringu or Dark Water -- I'm not suggesting that's bad -- but what I saw was more and better. This hybrid of ghost story and detective story is also quite an interesting character study of its two main characters. The stars in nthose roles give excellent performances and the supporting cast are all very good. It is very well photographed and edited. The pacing is slow enough to build atmosphere and suspense but never drags. Even the music is good without being obtrusive. Highly recommended. |

| User ReviewLe HWell made horror story with a twist that actually surprised me |
| User ReviewNoel VWhat's with asians and ghost girls seeking revenge? That aside this one a is far above par. |
| User ReviewJess HWhat I learned from Arang: You are not safe from whatever is outside the window just because you close the mini-blinds...also do not peek through them if you hear noises. Sitting at a desk can be scary. And sometimes taking a shower can be scary too. As for my opinion on the film, I thought it was pretty good. It has a lot of ideas you may see in other movies, particularly Asian horror, but saying that Asian horror films rip off other Asian horror films is like saying American slasher films rip off other American slasher films-some of it is just a staple of their cinema that is widely accepted as "normal". Makes even more sense if you actually read the legend of Arang, so I would recommend doing this before watching the film. |
| User ReviewKevin M. WI really liked the storyline to this film. There are many horror clichés and the stylings of "Ringu" & "Ju-on" are throughout. It seems to be the mainstay to use the haunting long black hair in Asian Horror film. This also has echoes of "Shutter" to it as well but I really liked this film. The only part that I didn't care for was the very end. It was cheesy and really didn't seem to belong. |
