Whispering Corridors | comment |
Whispering Corridors is a Korean horror film directed by Park Ki-Hyung in 1998 about a series of unexplained murders committed by a ghost. Eun-Young, a former student turned teacher, investigates the murders after Mrs. Park, a fellow teacher calls her about Jin-ju, a former friend of Eun-Young's. Three students, Ji-oh (an art student), Jae-yi (a shy student), and Jung-sook (a strange and unpopular student), doing morning janitorial duties find Mrs. Park's body hanging from a tree. Although her death looks like a suicide, rumors fly around the school that Jin-ju, an unpopular student who died years ago, is back to take revenge on the teachers who tormented her. Eun-young and the three students get caught up in the dark secrets of the school and must stop the ghost before she commits another murder.This film is the first of a series of horror films known as the Whispering Corridors series (also known as the Ghost School and Ghost School Horror series). The films are all completely unrelated stories, with the only commonality between them being that they are all set in all-girl schools and are horror stories. The series is noted to be part of a New Wave of Korean films produced post-lifting of censorship that specifically deals with subjects that, traditionally, were considered taboo in Korean cinema, including the extremely harsh and authoritarian nature of South Korea's education system, gay relationships, teen suicide, and the like. The second film is known as Memento Mori and is known for being one of the first mainstream Korean films to depict lesbian characters, the third film is known as Wishing Stairs, the fourth film is called Voice, and the fifth film is called A Blood Pledge. | |
