I saw the trailer, and thought it looked really good. The imdb rating is only 4.3/10, but most of the reviews Ive read were positive. The consensus seem to be: decent story (although very familiar), very good performances by the actors (especially the kids), with exceptional production values and art direction (which is almost always the case in Korean films). Im looking forward to seeing it.

I watched this one last night and I enjoyed quite a bit. The reviews I alluded to in my previous post were accurate. Like alot of Korean films, its production values are outstanding and its visually pleasing. The actors in the film were excellent, especially the children. Movie has a few good scares, but overall its just very creepy/unsettling. But I thought the story was much better than some of the reviews I read. Deffinitley worth worth picking up IMO. The only DVD release I was able to find was the Malaysian disc I purchased on HKFlix.
