WHO KILLED THE GHOST? -Haha! REMEMBER ME, HEAR MY VOICE -Sad; GHOST HAUNTING ANOTHER GHOST -Scary
Finally a Good Horror in this Franchise! Uff!! 🤭😏Watched first 4 movies in this franchise, This is the BEST till now👌🏻
No moment of boredom throughout the movie👌🏻, unlike the first 3 movies in which Only the last 30 mins are interesting 🤦🏻♀️😂
I vaguely remember watching few of these movies in my younger years n all these years, had an impression on 1st movie n this movie, as Good Scary Horrors n were my favs back then ☺️
**** STORY:
A Story of Teen Girls in All Girls High School.
(All the movies in this franchise are about high school girls in school setting 👍🏻)
Even here, like in the other movies in this franchise, the Ghost never leaves the school.
There are two couples here:
Main Leads (Sun Min n Young Eon) n in the end, it is IMPLIED that they are in love!
Female music teacher n her student girlfriend.
This Story in a Nutshell:
"U REMEMBER ME / PLEASE DON'T FORGET ME;
HEAR MY VOICE
n SO MY GHOST EXISTS !" 🤨
A Mix of Serious Horror + Mystery Thriller.
Ghost with her close friend, solving her own death mystery! 😂
n this entire MYSTERY solving part is INTERESTING to watch 👌🏻
****
For the first 1 hour of the movie, it's about "WHO KILLED YOUNG EON / who made her, turn into a ghost?" 😂
That suspense is well maintained till the end 👌🏻
Well written story👌🏻
The last 30mins show the actual events that happened n also show a different evil angle of the ghost, which is shown as humble n sweet in the first 1 hour of the movie👌🏻
****
What I liked the most in this movie is:
As an admirer of horror n mystery genres, mainly mystery thrillers,
I really liked the idea of including a death mystery in a horror.
Liked the idea of showing the ghost's story from the perspective of the ghost as a horror experience for itself, trying to solve its own death mystery and the mystery suspense continued till the end.
Later on, shown as the ghost learning the true events that had happened, New unexpected facts came to the surface and revealed that the ghost is not ready to accept those.
And this Narration of the Ghost's story makes this movie to stand out in this Franchise! 👌🏻
All this is well written, well executed and the screenplay n editing for a mystery included in a horror genre, are Good.
****
At times, u find it funny :
What! Our Ghost gal is getting scared of n haunted by another ghost !? 🤔🤭
(Maybe she forgot that she is a ghost that is capable to scare anyone! 😂)
All these scenes - Haunting the ghost Young Eon by another ghost, are scary enough n give a good horror experience for horror lovers
****
Cinematography is Good.
Direction is Different.
Usually, the Ghost creates Chaos but here ghost is heard only by close ones n the chaos is created in the Ghost world (Ghost haunts another Ghost)
Chaos in school happens only when a dead body is found.
Funny and strange that all bodies are found only by Seon min 😂
Climax scene is different and funny - possessing your lover, seeing her in the mirror and then confessing (saying I love you) is different, a new type of confessiin 😂👌🏻
End credits scene - gal Cho Ah's ghost is stuck with no voice, since she is not remembered by anyone.
OST is Good 👌🏻
****
My Rating is 8 / 10
I really liked everything about this movie, the best in this franchise.

Ghost Voice is probably my least favorite of the 4 Whispering Corridors movies I have seen so far. The horror element is weak, the plot is both predictable and confusing at the same time. The last minute plot twist came out of nowhere and was not well incorporated into the story.
I also find it a bit of a miss to include “tragic lesbian story” into it, when similar story was part of the 3rd movie. Watching these one after another makes it seem like they ran out of ideas.
The acting was good, definitely more modern than in the previous movies. Seo Ji Hye, Cha Ye Ryun and Kim Seo Hyung did the best. Some of the line delivery from Kim Ok Bin seemed off, the overused pauses between words gave a robotic vibe.
Overall, I’d rather recommend Whispering Corridors 1-3 over this one. It brought nothing more to the table and does not even serve as an easy entertainment.
