Voices is a passionate movie in spite of the many unidimensional characters. Anger, guilt, shame. Audiences are also more locked into the story and its immediacy. Once the danger begins, there is no letting up. Several days worth of attacks and deaths become an endurance test for those watching. Voices strikes fear into the viewers on a deeper level.
The gratuitous and graphic violence within is not likely to do more than catch the eye. Ga-in lives comfortably, surrounded by loving family and friends. And without trust there is nothing. Voices benefits from stylish and sleek direction, a relatively high body count accentuated by ample bloodletting, and a sort of narrative uncertainty not so readily found in teen horror today.
When it was first released as part of the After Dark Horrorfest, Voices was unfairly lumped in with so-so East Asian horrors being indiscriminately bought up and distributed. In comparison to its contemporaries, the movie is unique. In place of the usual vengeful ghosts and haunted technology lies a dark story about an innocent girl whose lot in life is fulfilling a self-destructive prophecy.
Her greatest misfortune truly comes from the fact that she was born into the wrong family. You must be logged in to post a comment.

But Williams knows how to effectively execute them, and Perry's story somewhat cleverly ties in to the first film. Not that we're trekking to the theater for the intricacies of the narrative, mind you -- one of the problems with this type of movie is, it's disposable, utterly useless after the surprises are revealed during the first viewing.
Good thing this movie sets the table for another sequel then, eh? E-mail John Serba: jserba grpress. Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission.
