Title: Derivative, but a decent way to kill a couple of hours.
Review: Bunshinsaba (Byeong-ki Ahn, 2004)Mediocre and derivative Korean horror flick that draws on years of better work without offering anything new or interesting to the mix. Yu-jin (Se-eun Lee) and her mother move back to her mother's old village. In true outsider fashion, the local kids gang up on her, and she places a curse on the four ringleaders with a ouija board. (Does this sound familiar?) They start to die off, and Yu-jin has to figure out what she's done, and how to undo it, with the help of a couple of sympathetic teachers. It's not a terrible way to kill an hour and a half, because it has the usual Asian-horror-film atmosphere in spades, but if you grab another Tartan Asia Extreme flick off the shelf at random, you've got a pretty good chance of finding something scarier/more interesting/more original/etc. **
