Unpredictable plot along with mystery and horror
Misss259 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
What should I call this movie? A horror or a mystery or a time traveling movie? I heard this movie is about time travelling, so pick this up and started watching. Guess what? What didn't I find? It is filled with horror, mystery along with time traveling concept. The story is pretty interesting and unpredictable. This movie plot is really unguessable when we started thinking about one thing, it turns out to be another. Like at first we can think maybe the lady is crazy and maybe actually killed the family. Who can guess the hidden truth?

Mystery horror thriller with interesting twist.
paulclaassen13 June 2018
Initially, I found the film to be very cliched, and pretty much another haunted house movie that doesn't offer anything new, but everything changed in the last 20 minutes with a very interesting twist.

The film is told in two timelines, jumping back and forth between them, but it gets a bit confusing when the timelines meet. Very interesting concept, but films of this genre generally raises a number of questions and credibility issues - similar to 'The Others'. (I did find this to be a combination of 'The Others' and 'The Amityville Horror'. The film does have some really scary moments with some great visuals and make-up.

What Would You Do?
Foutainoflife9 August 2018
While I'm still a bit confused about a couple of things, I really enjoyed this. It seems to me that this was all about time and the choices that we have to make. It wasn't scary but it did stir up emotion. This is a fairly slow paced movie but I liked the way it ended.

Strange and Mysterious
sudhakaranakhilan22 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
It is actually a mystery film or we can attribute horror sidelines to it but it something twisted at the end were it juxtaposed with a time recounting theme. This is not actually a time traveler one, but here time, period, year are mixed and added to the stuff. The point of 25 years, 11th November and the tickling clock resounds us into the past and the present. Anyway this is something a strange one and we just went through the plot and try to connect it with the past and the present when the movie reaches to the edge.

A well done film about the outcome of our decisions years away.
niehow14 June 2017
Warning: Spoilers
A house built by a Japanese general during Korea's colonial era ends up having the psychic power to trap those who have died within it's walls. This occurs every 25 years and for one day the spirits of the dead are free to alter their past to see if the outcome would have made for a better life for the loved ones who lost them. For one day they can skip through as many years as wanted.

A family of four are the third family to live in the cursed house. The husband and two sons die with the mother unjustly serving 25 years in prison. As an elderly woman dying of cancer she revisits the home and with help from others is able to alter events from the past which in turn alter the present.

There is no CGI, no bumps in the night, nothing outwardly scary yet there is an underlying vibe, very atmospheric, that kept me glued to witness the outcome. Top notch acting by the children and by Yun-Jin Kim. This film will stay with me for a long time to come, in a thoughtful, realistic way.

Too much
phd_travel10 May 2020
Kim YoonJin is a great actress she can act young and old convincingly. The explanation is just too much to swallow. Should have kept things simpler.

Yet another Great movie from south Korea.
reallyevilboy24 March 2018
This is yet another Great movie from south Korea. Great Plot, Great twist. Full of emotion and feeling. A little Jump, a little tear. I don't know why South Korean Films tick all the boxes but I'll choose a south Korean movie over any other country any day. This film is a great example of a perfectly polished result.

Mediocre
szemeteskuka7220 April 2021
Not much to say about this one, if you've seen enough Korean horror or horror in general you won't really be surprised by anything, there are a few plot holes but not to the extent where nothing makes sense. The acting is okay. I guess it's in the horror category because there are a few scares but it felt more like a drama/mystery.

I would only recommend it if you really don't have anything better to watch.

Masterpiece
ALIENIGHTMARE12 July 2022
It was mysterious and unpredictable. Touching story. Very good movie and beautiful idea. It was really interesting to watch till the very end. Dramatic and tragic, not really scary but impressive. This movie should get higher ratings. It is really great.

unexpected story
im_shan_i29 January 2021
I would like to say the last word first! I never expected where the story took me and it was pleasing, twisted and heart-melting story which made my jaw dropped. I didn't expected the movie was that great at all. Scenario was greatly planned and movie direction got a little bit faster at the 2nd half of the movie. It was 2-hours joy.
