Every three years, the gloomy halls of a highly regimented all-girl Korean school are haunted by the spirit of a student who died as a result of her teachers' cruel forms of discipline. Though outwardly a Gothic, sometimes gruesome horror tale, the story is actually a critique of Korea's militaristic approach to education. At the school, it is not uncommon for errant students to be slapped or hit hard upon the head. The ghost died a decade before in a freak accident and since then her restless spirit reemerges at the same time and interval to get revenge by taking over the body of a new student and using her to cause all kinds of trouble for the instructors. One of those educators was a former student and a best friend of the deceased girl. The ghost's reign of terror is threatened by the presence of a shaman's daughter, who has at her disposal the means to send the ghost away forever. Yeogo Goedan was screened at the 1998 Vancouver Film Festival. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

    I love horror movies. Especially those from our friends in the Far East. I don't know what it was about this one, but I actually fell asleep. I usually trust Tartan Asia Extreme big time, but sadly I was let down this time. Don't let the cool cover fool you, skip this one....or maybe I should stay awake the whole film next time?

    For being sought as one of the earliest asian horror films, it certainly has that vibe to it. It's not that scary, but more of the characters are eerie and there's a violent ghost on the loose. I believe it fits more of a dramatic tone than a horror tone (ie: Tale of Two Sisters). The end definately made me sad more than scared.

    Yes   |   No

    Trust me, you didn't miss much. I got sleepy but stayed awake and it was rather boring and not scary at all. The second movie in this series Memento Mori (Remember the Dead) was a lot better.
