Superior psychological thriller with a small dose of supernatural horror to give that extra feel of excellence. Complex but rewarding story with good characters. Excellent direction. It can be a tiny bit confusing at times and deserve many viewings in order to catch every layer of it's story as it could be interpreted differently each time.

A unique and attention-getting film that unfortunately falls apart towards the end. The subtleties that drew me in quickly sank into cliche, leaving me with a plot I cared less and less about. Regardless, it's still better than most films of the genre and has a soundtrack that makes it worthwhile. On a side note, I'd love to see a non-horror movie set in this house. I was almost distracted by its coziness.

O how I wish I didn't watch the shitty remake first.

Wish I didn't accidentally watch the botched American remake first

Makes less sense as it goes along. After this second viewing I am no longer sure what of the first ninety minutes even happened. Effectively creepy though when it tries to be.

Une splendide photographie, pour un ensemble plutôt fort brillant et séduisant, tournant souvent à vide et dont la narration souffre d'un excès de formalisme en laissant le filmage ouvert aux moult, voire quotidiennes modifications scénaristiques (dixit le réalisateur) perdant ainsi en efficacité et rigueur, pour une compréhension bien plus incertaine et plutôt hasardeuse de l'ensemble... www.cinefiches.com

Haven't seen this for ages but there are scenes still vivid in my memory - great psychological horror in the way that only Asian cinema can make.

Disturbingly effective. However, while managing to create a gloomy ambiance covered with an extremely touching story, in the end it's visible that it also lacks a consistent frame.

pretty good, but I think it's like Suspiria's rip off

2.5-3. Not sure how 'scary' I would say this movie is; a number of its later 'scary' moments rely on predictably patterned jumps and jolts, but it is gorgeous, and sad. And it pulls off a twisty worthy of 'The Others' that sends it spiraling into a labyrinth of broken time and reflection. So, I'm glad I saw it; I think there is SOMETHING here that sticks, and I'd probably recommend it to others.

what a shocking story. not really scary but twisted as hell

I'll be honest, there's nothing here you couldn't see coming from a mile away if you pay attention to details. Yet the nice horror iconography and exceptional final act make up for a lot of the generic stuff.

Kim Ji-woon is one of my favourite filmmakers ever.

one of the best horror movies ever made. as twisted as it gets. i loved all the details and how they made the story. beautiful cinematography too!

A definite must-see for any film lover over the globe. This movie really breathes the essence of Korean cinema in my opinion, not materialistically nor culturally, but definitely imaginatively. Beautiful legend of the story and such a deft approach in it's film version. The movie deserves itself in the ranks of Oldboy, SSFW&S, etc. A contrast of Kim Jee-Woon's next best-I Saw The Devil, which is equally brilliant.
