sanal r A simple and enjoyable teen flick which has its fare share of romantic flares and fun moments even though the mystery itself was kind of predictable from the get go Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A movie about two cute teenagers who want to clear up a murder case at their school. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member this was fun to watched. abit scary at some points, but keeps you guessing who the murderer is. i thought it was too easy, still they added another side of the story. simple teens movie, but sweet nonetheless. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A movie about 2 teenagers who want to clear up a murder case at their school? Sounds like one of those Saturday afternoon films. But "4th Period Mystery" proves that Korea can be quite inventive here, too, as the movie is an interesting mixture of a thriller and a high school drama. However, you can't dispute that this movie is actually somewhat standing out from the crowd mostly because of its atmosphere that can be tense and captivating at times and at others is a little bit more lighthearted and humorous than what we might have expected. This mix pays off only partly and the movie has to struggle with some inelaborate characters, but especially the tight running time of the film which doesn't even reach the 90 minutes mark is one reason why we are well entertained until the very end. A rise of tension during the story's progress is only given to a small degree, but when some more adrenaline-loaden moments kick in they work out pretty well. "4th Period Mystery" is no big movie but it's entertaining, nonetheless and is a welcome change to other thrillers because of its edgy style, even if this also means that the film lacks the final touch.
