Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Tokyo-1997 I watched this movie before Whispering corridors and this movie is so much more entertaining than whispering corridors. The plot for this movie is that there are two girls who fight for the first place in a ballet competition. One of the girls pushed the other down the stairs and the girl felt betrayed sad and committed suicide. This movie deals with a friendship triangle between three girls. The idea for this movie was just great the storyline is wonderful. The beginning was slow paced. Frightening scenes only come on the second half of the movie. There was time to provide enough character development between the characters for the first half of the movie. This movie is really entertaining, and the idea of using the wishing stairs was just fantastic. This movie showed true friendship and betrayal among students. The idea used in this movie was so much better than whispering corridors which the idea was about a teacher who locked her student in the art room because of her superstition. This movie really shows what happens between friends in real life. This movie deals a little bit about Karma as well. I loved the ending of this movie.The idea that makes use of this stairs that would grant your wish was well done. The ending was really scary. The scene which showed So Hee climbing in from the window was terrifying and that scary scene was just very creatively made. However, this movie gets a little complicating towards the end and requires one to think what is happening. Other than that, this movie is highly recommended. If you like this type of movies that deals with wishes try out bedazzled. Score: 8.5/10(Wonderfully made)

jstakutis my friend was in Seoul, Korea when he saw this and he said that this movie was so scary that he thought he was going to die. well i wouldn't go that far but it had its scenes. he had introduced me to foreign films, most of which i liked, namely "my sassy girl" which is by far the best romantic comedy...ever. i actually saw that movie with my two friends while eating ice cream in the dark. wishing stairs had a nice long buildup to a climax, good character development, and some good twists at the end. although it wasn't a blood bath horror movie like most of the American movies that are around, it was good enough to entertain an open mind. if you don't like foreign movies than you will be out of luck. if you want a bloodbath comedy go watch toxic avenger, if you want to get a little freaked out, watch the wishing stairs and get some fried squid and pop corns.

Shawn Watson Wishing Stairs is the least scary of the Yeogo Goedam films so far (I've still to see the fourth however). It's just the same old clichés of 'be careful what you wish for' done in a South Korean girls school. It's like Wishmaster gone Asian with a bit of Grange Hill thrown in for abstract measure.The windy atmosphere is don again, the lesbian love thing is done AGAIN and the old, dusty secret room is done again too. In fact, when I think about it, this movie is nothing more than some rehashed scenes from the first two. It's not boring in any way, but is certainly not scary and not a film I could sit through again.

blncub i think this movie had a lot of potential to be really scary, but unfortunately it's not. for some reason it just doesn't work till the final 30 minutes. for example in the beginning i got really distracted by the bad "fat" - make up of the red haired girl, and her weird shy/crazy acting. it's supposed to explain her character, but that's about the only explanation you ever get about her. and it was obvious from the start what's gonna happen to her. if you had more emotional access to her, i think that character could have gone down as a new icon in horror movies, cause - man - this Asian girl with weird red hair could scare the sh*t out of you. later in the movie, her "shy/evil" changes are actually very well acted.the other two girls are not bad either. but most of the time i felt like watching some Asian version of an olson twins movie...OK, the "ring - style" girl through the window will definitely not scare you. it has been abused in too many movies now, and is not done very well here. but still the final 30 minutes will give you a nice sense of unease and slight terror.oh, and i dare you not to get haunted by the sight and sound when the blood starts tripping through the ballet shoes at the rehearsal - god, and that girl keeps smiling. hats of to that!so, see it if there is nothing else on, but this is no "grude" or "ring"
