Audience Member Korean horror film that follows the curse flow through a family. Nothing new, but the real downfall is the lack of an origin story for the curse. When you finally are afforded a flashback, it's a moment where a dad and son are begging a family for money. Thin.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Du Saram-yida (Voices) (Ki-hwan Oh, 2007) I go off every now and again about movies that are brought over here and marketed as Yet Another Asian Horror Film that are actually anything but, and that suffer greatly for being marketed as same. Part of the reason they suffer so is that the glory days of Yet Another Asian Horror films are, by and large, long gone. You still find the pearl now and again, but the number of swine seems to have increased tremendously in the past few years. Case in point: Du Saram-yida, released in English-speaking countries as Voices, a re-tread of a re-tread of a dozen other movies you've seen. Plot: Ga-in (Oldboy's Jin-seo Yun) is a high-school student and an award-winning fencer, but that's not enough for her coach, who's constantly pressing her to be better than her male colleagues. She's never exactly been one of the popular kids, either, but she finds what may be a friend in a new transfer student, Sung-min (War of the Arrows' Gi-woong Park). Unfortunately, his friendship couldn't have come at a worse time; it seems Ga-in's family has recently come under a death curse that causes family members to kill one another in vicious, bloody ways. Oddly (or is it?), Sung-Min seems familiar with this curse, and his advice to Ga-in plays as a constant refrain throughout the second half of the film: "don't trust anyone." It's a good premise, and given a director with some vision and originality, it could have been a stylish, competent-if-not-brilliant horror movie. Instead, Oh grabs a piece from horror movie A, a piece from horror movie B, etc., and sticks them all together. Even that can work okay, as long as you're a good enough artisan that the seams don't show, but Oh is not that artisan. This is nothing you haven't seen before...so why watch it again? * 1/2 Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member A waste of time for any horror-movie lovers and the rest. The simple plot revolves around people trying to kill a female protagonist, Ga-in, who tries to escape this murderous curse of her family. There is really nothing fascinating about it that'll keep you thinking after you watched the movie. The only thing that was interesting is the concept of hate and how the murderous attitude is triggered by basic thoughts of hate towards Ga-in. Worthwhile knowing what hate can lead up to. The thing about visiting the lost family relative of Ga-In's family is so unnecessary. We don't learn any further details about the curse, but only find out that he was possessed by the curse as well. How he commits suicide is just making the movie creepier. More funny than scary, this cheap horror movie has the classical stupid bad ending that helps to spoil the movie even more. If you're looking for a decent jap or korean horror movie, try something else. This definitely is one of the worst examples of its kind. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie. About a girl with a curse that causes her friends and loved ones to try and murder her. It started strong but slowly started to decline. But still a great film worth checking out. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting premise with the movie taking the staple of a crazy person wanting to kill people and switching it with all the people being crazy trying to kill one person. It had some different ideas and a good story. Nice blood and gore the asian way in it as well Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
