Comments: This film deserves to be Whispering Corridors 5 more than the film that was released with that name. The school here is a private one up in the forested mountains with basements and caves providing some eerie sets. I wish it would have stuck with eerie and psychological. It gets a little bloody at the end. I didn't see that coming, and/but it works. The girls at the school are there because they have some disease, like tuberculosis. Their families don't want to care for them any more so they won't be missed if something happens to them. Drum roll.


Summary: Korea in year 1938. Joo-ran is a talented girl who is transferred to the Gyeongseong Boarding School in the near of Keijyo; the later Seoul. But Gyeongseong School isn't a normal school. The location of the school is kept a secret and even its existence is not known to public, though life seems to be not different from other boarding schools.

Now the young girl is confident, that there is something wrong about the Gyeongseong School. Joo-ran starts a risky research to uncover the secrets surrounding the school, which puts her life in danger.
