The Ghost Station (aKa Ogsuyeog gwisin) is 2022 supernatural horror film co-written and directed by Yong-ki Jeong (The Doll Master, Marrying the Mafia franchise, Once a upon a Time, Couples, and Return of the Mafia). It was co-written by Horang and Soyoung Lee (Apt, Robot Sound, and Wishing Stairs). After a young reporter (played by: Bo-ra Kim from Ghost Mansion, SF8, Touch, Avengers Social Club, and SKY Castle) covers a suspicious accident, she learns from police that her source was supposedly already dead at the time of their interview. As more mysterious deaths occur, she and her partner dig deeper into the case and come face to face with a horrifying truth!!!!

The Ghost Station pays homage to previous J-Horror features. That's one of the best things about the low budget horror movie. The screenplay and plot are a little messy here but it's still interesting to explore. Bo-ra Kim is a solid lead here. The supporting cast includes Jae Hyun Kim, Shin So-yul, Oh Jin-Seok, and Kang-il Kim. Everyone is pretty good in this, they try their best to make up for it's flaws. It has a heavy Ringu influence to it. They try some unique cinematography and shots to change it up which makes it stand out a little more. The finale feels a little rushed, I think it could have been done better but I don't hate it. The Ghost Station is just average but it's not a total waste of time. It does have it's moments every once in awhile. Just go into this one with an open mind.

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.

I was actually quite pleasantly surprised by this little thriller. No, it's not great and the quality of the acting leaves much to be desired, but the story is quite intriguing for a while. "Na-yeong" ((Bo-ra Kim) is an aspiring journalist who receives a curious tip from her friend at a nearby train station. "U-won" ((Jae Hyun Kim) is convinced that the body of a child that was found between the tracks died in very mysterious circumstances. Despite the obvious reservations of her boss, she talks to the child's family and discovers that the the site of the station might have many old and horrific secrets to keep. The two friends decide to delve into that past and reveal those secrets - regardless of those whom it may effect! It's quite a quickly paced little drama this that really could have been doing with a little better, stronger, casting. The visual and audio effects are adequate and the story is solid in a creepy sort of fashion providing a few twists and turns to a plot that easily puts this in the range of the average Blumhouse horror-lite offering. You almost certainly won't remember it after you've seen it, but it isn't terrible by any means.
