However, underneath its seemingly normal struggle between discipline and the resistance of the adolescence lie the school's dark and dirty secrets, and a terrifying fury, which is unleashed with the death of Mr. Park, a teacher of room 3-3, whose nickname was an 'Old fox'. The fear for the unrest in the school forces teaches to impose a 'silent regime' on students who had seen the dead body of the Old fox hanging in the school's overpass. As if it had been expected, painting the scene of death by a senior classmate Ji-oh arouses a lot of abuse from a room 3-3's new teacher called Mad dog. Amid the strange rumors that spread throughout the school, Jung-sook, who always used to be compared with the Mad dog's favorite student So-young, commits suicide, and the Mad dog himself disappears with no traces left. Meanwhile, a former senior student from room 3-3, Eun-young who a literature teacher appointed to his alma mater is molested by the words left over his telephone by the Old fox the night before he died. Eun-young finally suspects that the horrific events happened in the school, had something to do with the death of her best friend nine years ago... Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Jin-Ju never left School can be hell. So it's a perfect spot for horror movies that focus on the symbolic supernatural problems of teenagers. In the case of the superb "Whispering Corridors", the setting is a Korean girls' school. While the finale is a bit drippy (literally), director Park Ki-Yong never resorts to gore or cheap scares -- just a lot of creepy visuals, shocking attacks, and a double twist ending that you won't see coming. As the movie opens, tyrannical Mrs. Park (Jin-hie ... Read More Rating: - Very Confusing Suspense Movie I think this movie would do best with Korean audiences. For one thing, all the schoolgirls wear the same clothes. Second, they all seem to have hyphenated names that are unfamiliar to Americans. Third, to both my wife and to me, they all looked 'Korean' rather than as individuals. All three worked together to keep us constantly trying to figure out which character was which. Another aspect we found very confusing was that some was told in flashbacks and some in the present, and we found it very ... Read More Rating: - Korean horror is great! I love this movie! This was my first Asian horror film to see and it was great! I love both Korean and Japanese horror movies. The girls are awesome in this movie! My favorite one is Jin-joh. I love this movie! Rating: - A minor entry in the J-horror flood. Whispering Corridors (Ki-Hyung Park, 1998) "See the film that started the J-horror revolution!" trumpets the promotional materials for Whispering Corridors. Incorrectly, of course, as "the J-horror revolution" exploded ten years before Whispering Corridors was even a gleam in its daddy's eye with Hideshi Hino and his stable of extreme-horror lunatics. Hell, Ring beat this to the cinema by a month or so, if my memory for release dates is accurate. Shinya Tsukamoto was combining anime sensibility ... Read More Rating: - Corridors ...of...terror! Yeah I know thats lame Asian horror has recently become a passion of mine. In fact, if you read my other reviews, most of the positive ones are for asian ghost stories. There's something about a good ghost story that can scare me more than anything else and there's somehting about the asian art of storytelling that usually works its magic on me and makes things Ive seen before seem fresh and surprising. Whispering Corridors is an entry into this category that ranks with some of the best I've seen. It's not the scariest,it's not the ...
