A film that is definitely worth watching with a good story and a relatively good atmosphere. Definitely don't expect a movie hit, but you certainly won't be bored or at least I wasn't bored. It's not a movie where there is a lot of blood and film effects, but it's a cool horror movie and you're sure to find your fans who love ghost horror. And the film's conclusion was also quite successful, about how some people can be cruel to their own children. I definitely recommend this film to anyone who likes ghost horror movies.

For a movie that's only 1 hour and a half long, this wasn't bad, but it might've needed a little more emotional substance. They didn't stress enough how "bad" the relationship between Yi Na and her dad was, tbh it just felt like common sadness, and the dad was a workaholic who tried to make excuses to leave his daughter for a couple of months because he didn't know how to deal with the loss of his wife, and basically they just needed therapy not a new house ;) anyway it took them a few days or less for Yi Na to act "weirdly" and a few days later she went missing, so there was not much buildup. I personally used to be a scardy cat and I don't know if I'm just older now or movies lost their fear factor, but this was heartbreaking rather than scary. Especially with the background story of what started it all. And speaking of how it all started it felt quite basic, plus it was resolved very simply and it didn't need the dramatic fight scenes. And they only spent a few seconds on the other kids but I think that'd have been the breaking point for them, I honestly teared up on that subject but then it was suddenly over. I also feel like they could've built a beautiful bromance and connection, tbh Kyung Hoon came in the picture, said 1 thing about why he's doing this and boom they were working and solving what took him 10 or so years to solve. There was no anticipation, no foundation. Overall the acting was great and I'm looking forward to what Yi Na comes out with next, that precious baby is really talented~

Following his wife's death, a man and his daughter decide to move into a new home out in the country to try to move past the horrific events but once it becomes apparent that supernatural forces are at play within the house that pulls his daughter into their world he turns to an expert to try to get her back at all costs. On the whole, this one was a rather enjoyable ghost effort. Like most great ghost stories, there's a lot to like here with the general build-up of the story into far greater and more dangerous threats. The element of grief present in the backstory to this one drops a great sense of atmospheric grounding that has a lot to do with what the perception of the daughters' behavior changes as she goes from the intimidated, quiet girl with an unresolved anger problem toward her father to full-on psychotic outbursts. The complete turn-around she experiences is found to be related closely to the spirits inhabiting the house signal the start of the investigation into what's happening once the psychic arrives looking for evidence of the supernatural. These sequences and the resulting explanation into the backstory of the missing child from the house that soon transforms into a much larger case involving multiple missing children in the area and the eventual need to enter their dimension to rescue his daughter. This build-up of events is quite well-handled and one of the best aspects featured here. Likewise, the film gets a lot out of its ghost action and activity. Focusing on the idea of something in the house with the scurrying footsteps, child-like laughing or strange noises off in the distance that are both inhuman and impossible to have been made by the daughter once he arrives to investigate, the gradual build-up of the haunted house they live in is quite nice. The subtle hints of something happening with the famed closet, with the inability to keep it closed, her refusal to let him near it or the strange dream of it the ghostly woman emerging and cutting her throat in front of him cause even more enjoyable supernatural work within here that leads into the second half where it brings the ghoulish ghost-children into the picture to provide far more action than expected. These scenes benefit greatly from the creepy and chilling make-up used on the ghost children which is genuinely terrifying and creepy which certainly goes a long way to helping this one feature some fantastic positives. There are some flaws with this one. The main issue to be found here is the film's reliance on Hollywood-style ghost scenes that don't do anything new to betray their influence. The sequence in the bedroom where all the ghost children emerge and attack him tackles plenty of scene setups and a general atmosphere of many J-horror films, especially with the main ghost attacking the lone victim waiting in the control room. The entire investigation evokes entire J-horror franchises with the heroes up against a clock looking for the source of the supernatural maladies affecting them. Finally, the entire trip into the other dimension to rescue his daughter is a direct and overt ripoff of select American films outright, reducing the impact of these scenes drastically. Since this is where the typical Korean penchant for overblown melodrama emerges as he tries to plead with the ghost to let go of her anger towards his family, this comes off as somewhat cheesy due to the lack of build-up being more straightforward before then. These aren't truly terrible or wholly unworthy but do have a negative aspect on the film as a whole. Rated Unrated/R: Violence, Language and intense themes of children-in-jeopardy.

I would say this is a so-so average korean horror film, I have watched better ones before. But I am definitely IMPRESSED by the child actress Kim Shi-A who portrayed the role of Myung-Jin. Just as I was about to rate this movie a 6/10, I realised it wouldn't do her justice after watching her performance during the 2nd half of the movie. Of course Ha Jung-Woo is already an established actor, but seeing a kid (Kim Shi-A) giving such impressive performance, it's really kudos mann...

I'm not normally the guy who watches a movie with subtitles, But I have before and I was against watching this one, but my wife talked me into it and really, after twenty minutes or so, I was all in. It's a nice take on the American movie Poltergeist. Kid gets taken to the realm of the dead through a closet. I will say the acting, as far as the kids, was superb. The adults did a fine job too, but to see that range in kids that young is astonishing. Over all I think this movie did the horror genre a great job. I recommend it to anyone looking for a decent horror flick. Peace.

Not even scary at all. The main character is not suitable with poltergeist genre. I would say the second guy is much better with this kind of genre. Don't waste your time on it not worth to watch
