Inner Senses is a refreshingly different take on the whole "I see dead people" chestnut.

There seems to be some kind of unwritten rule that says all Asian horror movies must sport an interminably slow pace.

Rated: 1.5/4

Inner Senses finds itself working with far more emotional weight than the typical horror film.

Would have been more interesting if this was a pure psychological suspense.

A real shame that this was Leslie's last film before his death; he deserves much better. Ugly special effects that shows all the signs of a rush job, uncharacteristic bad acting from Leslie, and a very creepy and unintentionally hilarious climax makes this a stinker of the first degree.

This is a competent horror film, but if elements of it were better - it would have been a great horror film. There so many flaws here, and what makes this competent is that it was able to scare me. The plot was creepy, but it was structured really poorly. The first half of the film is about a doctor trying to help cure a girl who states that she sees ghosts all the time. Then, we get them falling in love once she is cured, but the second half of the film was so different. It got really silly. We now follow the character of the doctor and his past. He's haunted by some ghost of his childhood sweetheart. Sure, it was scary - the ghost looked freaky. But once they started to add in all this sweet and loving themes, it just got corny and not very scary. I did like the scary scenes in this. That was the films strong points. They used sounds and disturbing images so very well. The appearance of these ghosts - fucking scary! The shock horror is done really well because they build it up with horrifying music and suspense. It was the sounds that really scared me. The moaning and laughing of the ghosts was really scary. It's best to see this alone in the dark. It can scare you a lot, but there are scenes that are really laughable.

Romance, suicide, ghosts. It's slow with decent directing. Essentially a spooky chick flick.

Same as Ju-On: The Grudge 2, I remember how this movie freaked me out years ago as well and after viewing it yesterday, well it does have some impressive creepy scenes, amazing constancy and compelling story telling but unfortunately, it's snooze fest execution at the latter part. The direction was pretty orderly. The setting was unsettling. Performances are pretty strong. Overall, a pretty good Horror flick with a bore-fest ending. 3 out of 5 stars! :)
