Dir: Chang-jae Lim
Soporific Korean entry into the endless sub-"Ring" cycle, that looked far more interesting on the box than is actually the case. This one involves a beautiful investigative reporter (the tragically late Eun-ju Lee) who stumbles across a spooky website. Turns out that every woman who clicks on it ends up with a phantom pregnancy and dead within 15 days. No prizes for guessing there's a soggy dead girl seeking vengeance and hugs in this story somewhere. The movie's nicely shot, as seems to be almost mandatory for anything coming out of Korea nowadays, and the performances are good, but it's snail-paced, low on logic and so derivative that you can spend the entire film second-guessing it without much effort, as long as you've seen one of the other five zillion "Ring" clones that have been clogging up the Asian film industry for far too long now. Flush. *
