Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Boba_Fett1138 This sequel got released only just one year after the first movie, which normally really isn't a good sign but surprisingly enough this movie is not only different from the first movie, it's also a much better one.I really wasn't too impressed with the first installment out of the Yeogo goedam movie-series. Luckily its sequel is a superior one, in about every way possible. It's still not a perfect movie but it at least is a greatly watchable and refreshingly original one.It must be because this movie is being directed and written by two new fresh persons. It makes this movie quite different from the first one, which only works out positively for this movie. Their fresh new take on this movie ensures that the story works out better this time around, as well as its tension and mystery,It still is mostly being a movie that mostly consists out of buildup, without too much happening in it but at least the movie this time remains a far more interesting one. It's also really because the characters work out real well.The movie has some very convincing characters in it. They all behave like real schoolgirls and you actually believe that these girls have known each other all for years. I really liked their relationships and how they and the teachers got portrayed in this movie. It gave the movie a real realistic touch, which made the movie a compelling one.Visaually the movie is also definitely an improvement over the first. The camera-work and lighting all seems far more professional, as if they also had an higher budget to spend. My guess is that both Tae-Yong Kim and Kyu-Dong Min had watched lots of Japanese horror flicks in preparation for this movie. Yes, it's a South-Korean movie but it really got done in the style of a typical Japanese horror flick, that has supernatural tendencies in it.And it's also perhaps better to call this movie a supernatural thriller instead of an horror flick, in order not to create any false expectations for this movie. It's one that really builds on its atmosphere and mystery, rather than having scare moments and gore in it. I don't mind this, since this movie handles it all really well and effectively.Yes, the story and the movie can get quite confusing at times but I like that this movie tries to be different and more creative and original with all of its story elements.A surprisingly good sequel.7/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

KineticSeoul This is a improvement from the first movie in the saga, but it still has a lot of flaws. The subplots in this film is pretty much boring and didn't really add much to the story. The plot is basically this, this two lesbian girls decide to both make a diary, but when one of the girl doesn't show the same feelings as the other lesbian girl things start to go bonkers. With one girl who finds the diary and investigates it caught in the middle. So this time around it has more to do with being an outcast than teacher brutality. Almost the first hr of this movie has hardly no scary or even creepy scenes, just two lesbian girls doing stuff and one girl who finds the diary investigating. Most of the horror elements come near the end, but it wasn't executed very well and seemed sort of lame than actually scary. The drama aspect of the film wasn't too bad, but the horror parts wasn't done that well. Let's just say I slept like a baby after watching this movie. What started out okay, just became a kinda boring horror flick, with hardly any horror elements in it. One a positive note, most girls will be able to sit through the whole movie with little to no screams. It's basically a supernatural revenge flick from being a outcast by the other girls for being lesbian. The main negative thing I can say about this movie is that it really felt, all over the place at times and didn't stick to a more fluid method and direction. In another words it leads to a simple story to be more confusing that it should be at times.6.3/10

Scarecrow-88 Hyo-shin(Yeh-jin Park) and Shi-eun(Young-jin Lee)are a teenage lesbian couple who share a unique diary portraying their growing relationship which is found by Min-ah(Min-sun Kim). The setting is a private girls school and the film details why Hyo-shin leaped from the top of the school building to her death. The film leaps into the past where we see the rejection of Hyo-shin and Shi-eun's lesbianism from the students around them. Also, detailed is Hyo-shin's unfortunate choice to sleep with her professor, Mr. Goh(Jong-hak Baek)and the subsequent strain that has on her relationship with Shi-eun. Also, we watch as Shi-eun becomes more and more increasingly uncomfortable with sharing their love in front of others while Hyo-shin doesn't hold back her feelings with no shame whatsoever. The present shows Hyo-shin's haunting of Min-ah who reads the diary and what the little morsels from within convey to her. We also see how Min-ah's life changes upon reading the pages of the diary trying to search Shi-eun for answers regarding Hyo-shin and what might've lead to the fateful suicide. The ending shows Hyo-shin's wrath upon everyone as her ghost closes the doors of the school not allowing anyone to leave while showing herself to a frightened group of people. Min-ah wishes to return the diary to Hyo-shin if it will stop the carnage.This is, in actuality, a painful lesbian drama with the horror elements only further telling the story. The rejection of society and the acceptance of who you are main themes focused on. Min-ah is our guide into the trauma and the past yields sad truths about love turned away. I'm afraid many might feel jaded towards the directors' shifts in time because they do so without restraint..you will have to give yourself to the film and allow it to take control. It's a powerful piece of film-making where you're able to tell a strong story about the throes of unrequited love within the horror genre without the usual limitations in story-telling.

Robert J. Maxwell I have to admit that this one got past me almost completely. I had genuine trouble following it. It takes place in a Korean girl's boarding school. One of the students finds the diary of a dead girl. (That diary is great, a creative collage full of hidden pills, mirrors, strange powders, odd sayings, including the eponymous Latin expression.) Another girl jumps to her death for reasons we don't know. The girl who finds the hidden diary swallows a pill from it, follows clues, discovers a veritable treasure trove of similar goods secreted in the bottom of an upright piano by the dead student. Among these items is another pill -- "This is the antidote. Take it if you trust me." She takes it, feels unwell, flops on a couch, the camera bores into her pupil, weird events take place for the next half hour, the camera removes itself from her aqueous humor, the weird events continue anyway, it rains a lot, students run around in an overhead shot looking like streams of ants, the face of the suicidal girl appears gigantically above the skylight in the gym like Woody Allen's mother in "New York Stories." I got the girls mixed up and had a difficult time telling them apart, especially when they are shot from a distance or upside down, as happens from time to time. It's almost the case that they all look alike. They're all kind of pretty. They dress the same. They all have lank long black hair. Their voices sound identical. They're built alike -- gangling, narrow-shouldered, small-bosomed, slim-hipped -- their slender legs ending in clumsy black boots. And although they are in their mid-teens, they have the restless magic energy of children. They run around, shrieking and playing grab ass everywhere they go.When the movie was over I felt as if I'd just stepped off a souped-up merry-go-round, exhausted and a little dizzy.All that confusion aside, which may reflect lacunae in my interpretive apparatus, the story plays true. With a couple of exceptions -- profanity and pregnancy -- I could believe this is how girls might act in a place as alien to my sensibilities and experience as a Korean girls' boarding school.The intentionality behind the film is a very feminine one. Whoever was involved in putting it together understood girls. It's loaded with intrigues, jealousy, the uncovering of secrets, and worries about physical appearance. Teenaged boys have the same concerns of course, but probably not to the same extent. If this were a story about boys there would be more open arguments and fist fights.There's a homosexual element too. It isn't just friendship. One of the girls is clearly in love with another and there are hints of other affairs. But I'd hesitate to call it lesbianism. It's situational homosexuality, the kind you find in prisons. The girls have lost none of their femininity and one or more of them appears to have had an affair with the teacher -- handsome, young, very fortunate Mr. Goh.What "horror" there is, is slapdash and confusing. It would probably have been a better story of the horror had been either hinted at or eliminated entirely, and the narrative hung entirely on a few well-differentiated students.I gather that others have found this really entertaining, so I wouldn't discourage anyone from seeing it. It's not my bowl of bul-kogi but it might be yours.
