Not a brilliant or excellent effort, yet this ghost/serial killer/thriller has more than enough interesting plot turns to keep those looking for entertainment happy for a couple of hours. What makes this film worthy of a mention, however, is the quality of the performances: the two sisters and the little girl are splendid. The husband, too, resists all opportunities for over-emotiveness and gives a sympathetic performance.
In what seems to be a Korean national film trait, the story proceeds backwards and forwards, stopping occasionally for an interesting stroll which seemingly is disconnected.
Did I mention how beautiful the actresses are, yet?
Follow Ups:
One Missed Call was in interesting Japanese variation on a theme.

Though it is sold as a ghost story. Its kind of a Korean take on "Stir of Echos", only done much better. Nice twist at the end. If you haven't seen it yet, try "A Tale of Two Sisters"-another Korean thriller/horror movie with excellent production values and preformances. This seems to be a genre that Korea does rather well.

Already, I keep pushing Korean films to the front of my Netflix queue, never watching other films... and now, another one!
I'll get you back for this.
"A Tale of Two Sisters" is the first (of many) Korean movies that really impressed me with its high production values.

so THERE!
Harrummmmph.
At least I didn't mention any other Korean thriller/horror movies, like "Spider Forest". :-)
He he he.
