The Ghost Station

The Ghost Station is a rather mediocre supernatural mystery from South Korea.

While, there's nothing wrong with the acting or production quality...the story itself leaves a little room to be desired.

We find ourselves following a young journalist, whose friend witnesses a brutal suicide, at a train station he works at.

During the ordeal he sees a young child on the tracks.

So, intrigued by the incident, the young journalist decides to investigate the matter.

What follows is a convoluted investigation that leads her to uncover a dark secret, buried deep, from the past.

One which has left that particular train station cursed.

Hence the series of deaths that surround it.

Thus, what starts off as an investigative report...turns into a chance to free the trapped spirits of these lost, and vengeful, souls.

By helping them appease their grudge.

The film is clearly inspired by Japanese ghost stories like The Ring and The Grudge.

And it's a fine homage to those type of films.

But it just doesn't seem to hit as hard as it should.

So it comes off as relatively average in the end.

5 out of 10.
