Great movie!

This was an awesome movie - a little too complicated though. Still, props for the director for carving out such a mesmerizing plot with spirits and bodies swapping. Brilliant! Every small thing that occurs in the movie contributes to the main plot.
Asian horrors movies are the very best - it is a pity American horror is purely based on gore and physical torture. They have no subtlety or mysteriousness or vagueness that really disturb and scare the viewer.

Korean and Japanese horror movies are in a level of their own.

And you guys are amazing - everytime I get confused by such movies, I come to IMDB and read the explanations y'all give. Thanks!

Might be a good idea to put SPOILERS in your title about the body swap part as that does kind of give away a lot about the film. Although you can pick up the idea from the conversations that they show you at the end all the way through. I find sub titled movies a great way to watch films as you have to concentrate more on everything.

That's funny, because what many people call the "goreist" film series ever is Japanese.

There's crap from both sides (and greatness). Hell, this was quite crappy if you ask me. There's more to movies than a story, and this blew in all other aspects.

Well, the lead was pleasing to the eyes.
