Decent flick.....

Enjoyed the movie....hated the ending.

Reminded me some other piece of crap movie recently (the other one, not this one) that had one of those last minute "gotcha with the old switcheroo" endings. In that one, the girl who constantly relives her brutal murder over and over through the movie turned out to really be the *murderer* being damned to be the victim and relive her fear and murder over and over. Problem is, ethically speaking, who's on the receiving end of the torment and who's tormenting whom if the person believes himself/herself to be someone else?

This one would have been a bit better, in my opinion, if they had closed it five mins earlier. Other than that, a more than decent asian horror!

I agree.
The ending was a bit confusing and somehow not very convincing, other
than due to explaining it as being the confused state of mind of the main
protagonist Ji-won.

Her sense of guilt had caused her to momentarily lose her sense of identity.
Perhaps she was hallucinating or dreaming the episode.

Maybe this world is another planet's Hell. - Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)
