Memento Mori (1999)
This sequel to Whispering Corridors blends the subtlety of Let the Right One In, the grace of A Tale of Two Sisters, and the lesbianic obsession of High Tension in an artistically lensed girls school chiller. A student finds the diary of two secret lovers, and becomes obsessed with their relationship when one takes a long dive off a short building. Soon after, the dead girl's tormentors begin falling prey to her ghost. Its refreshing to get an asian ghost movie without a pale-faced, long black-haired ghost for a change, and this film will not fail to please any asian horror or haunting fan. Probably the best in asian horror I have seen since A Tale of Two Sisters.

I really enjoyed this film too. I think it's much better than the over-rated A Tale of Two Sisters.
ReplyDeleteI still prefer A Tale of Two Sisters, but this ranks very close and was very enjoyable. I thought the original Whispering Corridors was OK at best, so going into this my expectations werent the highest, which definitely made for a pleasant surprise!
