Memento Mori is a 1999 Korean horror film directed by Kim Tae-yong and Min Kyu-dong. While officially a sequel of Whispering Corridors, it's actually more of a Spiritual Successor. It tells the story of two schoolgirls, Hyo-shin and Shi-eun whose intense friendship eventually blossomed into a lesbian relationship. The plot is set into motion when their joint diary is found by another student, Min-ah. Early on in the film, Hyo-shin commits suicide and strange events begin to occur, all seemingly related to the mysterious diary. | |

Ominous Latin Chanting | |
| Memento Mori (1999) / int_1fdaf8ff | comment |
Ominous Latin Chanting: Of "Memento Mori" and "Kyrie Eleison." Both work as a Bilingual Bonus: Memento Mori means "Remember that you will die" while Kyrie Eleison means "Lord, have mercy" and is often included as part of the Roman Catholic funeral mass.note Though, technically, Kyrie Eleison would be Ominous Greek Chanting. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Early on, Hyo-shin tells Shi-eun that what bothers her most about dying is that no one would remember her. The line seems like casual conversation at the time, but in hindsight, it nearly explains almost all of Hyo-shin's actions. | |

Psycho Lesbian | |
| Memento Mori (1999) / int_59ddd555 | comment |
Psycho Lesbian: Deconstructed. Hyo-shin's clinginess and instability are quite clearly the result of bullying (at first because of her withdrawn personality and then, because of her sexual orientation) and being sexually exploited by her (male) teacher. By the end of the film, it's clear that Shi-eun deeply regrets that she broke with up Hyo-shin so she wouldn't become a target for the other students' bullying as well. Furthermore, Hyo-shin's acts of vengeance are not aimed at her ex-girlfriend, but at the other students and Mr. Goh. | |

Teacher/Student Romance | |
| Memento Mori (1999) / int_6d892421 | comment |
Teacher/Student Romance: Most of the students have a crush on their handsome teacher Mr. Goh. Taken further when it's revealed that, he was having an affair with Hyo-shin. Their relationship is certainly not portrayed as remotely romantic, however: Mr. Goh is a weak, unhappy, and needy person who is using Hyo-shin as his Living Emotional Crutch. Hyo-shin, for her part, does not love him and appears to have only started sleeping with him out of pity. She also clearly starts to crack from the strain of a relationship that's fundamentally exploitative and unhealthy. | |

Bifauxnen: Shi-eun and Ji-won are both female, but due to their short hair and small busts, they could easily pass for effeminate teenage boys. | |

Hallucinations: Maybe. Min-ah starts seeing Hyo-shin while reading her diary, even after Hyo-shin's suicide and the film is ambiguous about there are hallucinations or Hyo-shin's ghost. | |
