(2004)

Satan's blade, does every ghost in a slant horror flick really have to look like that stringy-haired bitch from The Ring? Seriously, enough already. In this one a cute little chickie gets possessed and starts killing all these other girls at her school. Her big move is to force people to put a plastic bag over their head and then set themselves on fire, but that wears thin pretty quick and all we're left with is the possessed chick staring at people through her hair and everyone else hemming and hawing in that super laid-back Asian way over what they should do about it. No joke, in one part they have this big debate about whether or not to expel her. You'd think with a supernatural murder spree going on they could skip the red tape, but I suppose when your country gets invaded by giant monsters and stringy-haired ghosts every other week you probably adopt like a practical approach to these things. Actually in the end it doesn't even matter, because it turns out the whole thing is like a double feint and there's actually a completely different ghost behind the scenes pulling the strings. They also throw in reincarnation, a curse, and a blind girl who can see. If you ask me it's all just too damn complicated. Can't some of these Asian schoolgirls just take off their fucking clothes?
