Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
bondblackberry I saw this movie considering the good reviews here. But this movie is melodramatic. It is more drama and it is like having a boring girlfriend. If you love fast paced horror movies or mystery or thriller stuff, then this move is not for you. The story revolves around a group of students in a high school. However, it is about love/affection between two friends and a diary explaining their love. One day, one of the friends die committing suicide. And then the story moves around that dead friend and what she was going through her life. The characters are also boring that you would better off listening to an old uncle ranting about how good things were in the past. There is no horror so whatsoever here. If you are a horror movie fan, you can safely skip this one.
Boba_Fett1138 This sequel got released only just one year after the first movie, which normally really isn't a good sign but surprisingly enough this movie is not only different from the first movie, it's also a much better one.I really wasn't too impressed with the first installment out of the Yeogo goedam movie-series. Luckily its sequel is a superior one, in about every way possible. It's still not a perfect movie but it at least is a greatly watchable and refreshingly original one.It must be because this movie is being directed and written by two new fresh persons. It makes this movie quite different from the first one, which only works out positively for this movie. Their fresh new take on this movie ensures that the story works out better this time around, as well as its tension and mystery,It still is mostly being a movie that mostly consists out of buildup, without too much happening in it but at least the movie this time remains a far more interesting one. It's also really because the characters work out real well.The movie has some very convincing characters in it. They all behave like real schoolgirls and you actually believe that these girls have known each other all for years. I really liked their relationships and how they and the teachers got portrayed in this movie. It gave the movie a real realistic touch, which made the movie a compelling one.Visaually the movie is also definitely an improvement over the first. The camera-work and lighting all seems far more professional, as if they also had an higher budget to spend. My guess is that both Tae-Yong Kim and Kyu-Dong Min had watched lots of Japanese horror flicks in preparation for this movie. Yes, it's a South-Korean movie but it really got done in the style of a typical Japanese horror flick, that has supernatural tendencies in it.And it's also perhaps better to call this movie a supernatural thriller instead of an horror flick, in order not to create any false expectations for this movie. It's one that really builds on its atmosphere and mystery, rather than having scare moments and gore in it. I don't mind this, since this movie handles it all really well and effectively.Yes, the story and the movie can get quite confusing at times but I like that this movie tries to be different and more creative and original with all of its story elements.A surprisingly good sequel.7/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
kluseba First of all, let me tell you that this movie has no connection to the first part of "Yeogo goedam" and has also a quite different style. While the first movie was a psychological suspense movie with some creepy elements, this movie is rather a drama or romance story of a lesbian couple and its fate. Even though the main story line is intriguing and seems to be courageous for its time, there are too many unnecessary subplots that are not only less addicting but distract from the well done parts of the movie.The supernatural elements in this movie had to be included to please the producers and are absolutely redundant. Don't expect a creepy horror movie with a twisted ending. This drama is very human and philosophical. It's a lot easier to follow than you might think while watching this flick. The movie is full of details and entertaining anecdotes but in contrast to similar Korean movies such as "A tale of two sisters", those details are not of a big interest in the end and everything is relatively clearly revealed.The problem is that all those details let this movie go nowhere and add nothing interesting to it. The flick seems stretched and sometimes a little bit empty and built on a weak plot. Some characters are also acting in a weird and not quite credible way and the ending of the movie crowns this hazardous development.If you want to see a realistic and visionary school drama, this flick may be partly interesting for you but doesn't go profound enough to truly convince. If you are expecting something as creepy as the first part of the series, you may be completely disappointed. Compared to the third movie, I must say that this second part doesn't really fit into the series at all and would suggest to simply skip it if you are not a big fan or collector of the "Yeogo goedam" universe.
halosdamads now I'm not much for "chick flickery",and scary movies seem so watered down these days the only scary thing about them is the price you pay for crap!!! those "Teen struggle" movies don't really float my boat as well. That being said, Memento Mori is the perfect blend of all that! yes all that!!i know, it blends every thing i hate about movies and i love it!! its a creepy tail of two out-casted school girls with a powerful love for each other. set Inna Korean all girls school the two decide to write a dairy together to document their love. all is well until one of the girls gets drunk and has sex with one of the teachers. the other,of course, is hurt by that and starts avoiding her lover. mean wile one of their classmates stumbles across the dairy and starts reading. she reads of their relationship and sees all type of spells curses poems pictures. she also finds candy one left for the other, she eats it, turns the page and discovers its was a slow acting poison with note stating the poison comes with a spell saying "if you stop loving me you will die"!! (she doesn't)they struggle with classmates and their relationship, so of course they want to make it harder on each other by going public with their forbidden love. well, boom goes that idea in their faces. and the "cheated on" girl does not like the negative attention, calls the other to their secret spot on the roof, she brakes it off, and the other jumps off the roof. the madness begins!! the girl becomes a ghost, stalking all those who bullied her. in the process her lover thinks back on their falling out and wishes she never left her despite of her cheating with the teacher. after the ghostly chaos the movie ends with a depressing version of the happy birthday song by the girl who becomes the ghost.all in all, great movie. its the saddest thing since old yeller, or Bambi, it left a deep deep impression on me that i will carry to the grave. never before has a movie grabbed me and pulled me in the way this bone chilling gripping movie has, if they maid it in the u.s. it would have been a hit. so if you like the weak, cliché riddled American horror films that disgusts more then scare, you waisted your time reading this. ha ha ha,but if you like a good story and a "mess with your head" type film Memento Mori is perfect for you,so,buy it buy it buy it!!! stop reading and buy it!!!! 10/10
