Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Masterful Movie

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

This installment is the strongest of the "Whispering Corridors" series. The rule system regarding the communication between the ghosts and humans is interesting, and is utilized well when everything comes together near the end of the film. There is limited (yet successful) use of special effects and the night time atmosphere is very good, using dark red lighting on numerous occasions that rivals the beauty of Dario Argento's "Suspiria." Everything about this movie screams quality, from the interesting storyline to the excellent acting to the effective, stylish horror elements. The scene that plays during the closing credits is something really special. This is a beautiful film with fantastic scriptwriting.The sense of friendship is much stronger in "Voice" than in any of its predecessors. This is due mostly to the fact that the movie is seen through the eyes of the ghost instead of the living schoolgirl, which automatically humanizes the spirit instead of portraying it as some inhuman entity that floats around. In addition, the supporting characters are very likable and important in the storyline this time around; the third actress (playing the allegedly psychotic student) gives one of the best performances in the entire film. Finally, the play on ghostly voices is really great stuff because the strength of the ghost's voice is a direct gauge on the strength of her existence.The horror elements may not be the scariest of the "Whispering Corridors" series (that nod goes to "Wishing Stairs"), but they are very unique (especially the elevator scene). If you're looking for anything more than a few tame deaths you'll most definitely be disappointed. No matter though, this film is still magnificent anyways.Fans of Hollywood horror may be disappointed that the teen girls in this movie are actually somewhat mature and likable. I know American audiences tend to like their teens as trashy and stupid as humanly possible, but the girls in Voice are very intelligent and classy. This may prove "boring" for your typical teenie bopper surfer kids who like American slasher movies, which is yet another reason to watch this movie. Oh, and this film does make sense. Check out my explanation thread on the IMDb message board.In all honesty, the only South Korean horror film that beats "Voice" out is "A Tale of Two Sisters." But then again, that movie beats everything out anyways. :)

While training after hours in her high-school, the aspirant singer Park Young-Eon (Ok-bin Kim) is mysteriously killed and her body vanishes. Her ghost is invisible and trapped in the school, but her best friend Kang Sun-min (Ji-hye Seo), who broadcast in the lunchtime in school, is able to hear her voice. After the suicide of their music teacher, Sun-min, aided by her mate Cho-Ah (Ye-ryeon Cha), finds that another student, Hyo-Jung (Hyeon-kyeong Lim), died in the same elevator trunk some time ago. Meanwhile Young-Eon recalls details of her life, disclosing why she died."The Voice" has an intriguing beginning with a scared invisible ghost trying to uncover why she died. The mystery is disclosed in low pace, but the revelation is very disappointing and confused. The ambiguity of Young-Eon contradicts her behavior along the story, and in spite of the explanation of Cho-Ah that ghosts recall only the parts of their past lives that they want to remember, I did not like her mean motives. Further, I have not understood the last scene when Sun-min looks herself in the mirror and then talks to her mother. In my opinion, the screenplay deserved an improvement. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): Not Available

"Voice" tells the story of Young-uhn,who one day wakes up dead.Her ghost haunts her high-school ground.Only her best friend,a school DJ named Seon-min can hear her voice.Aided by the school's resident psychic girl,Seon-min attempts to uncover the terrifying mystery behind her friend's death.The fourth installment of "Whispering Corridors" series is an interesting horror film.The film seriously lacks scares,but it more than makes up for it with relying on suspense,mystery and drama.The acting is great,the piano score is absolutely brilliant and the cinematography is flawless."Voice" is basically just a sad and solemn story that attempts to show what a spirit might feel in the first days after its body has died.Give it a look.8 out of 10.

i love this movie be cores it went deep inside me like no other movie have ever done before . I think that to really understand this movie is important to have been in a school like that ,i could recognize some things from my own school days .But back to the movie all the characters have secretes kept away from the viewer like the music teacher did she have lesbian relations whit the two young girls ,it is rumors you hear in the movie and you can believe them or not i have never seen that in movie . I will not call it a horror movie it is more a thriller but it had some scary moments and a very surprising ending . This movie is truly a piece of art and i really don't hope that they try to do a remake in the U.S
