Customer Reviews

Innovative for its time, but now outdated
I have seen all of the other "Whispering Corridor" films (One, three, and four), but waited to see this one until recently. I can't say that I was impressed. Maybe the film was remarkable in its time, and maybe we've all seen the repetition of the themes of these films for the ideas to seem fresh and innovative, but at the same time, there are some definite faults present.

First of all, the film consisted of too much hysterical girlschool behaviour -- too many catfights and nonsense of the sort that took one's attention away from other important aspects of the film. The ending, as some have noted, was also less than grand.

Perhaps this film did a good job in its time of presenting us with social issues in an innovative and creative way, but it no longer seems to have the same verve that it probably once did. I have found that other films can tackle these social problems in a more interesting manner, and they don't always have to be about forbidden desire and secrets. The last Whispering Corridors (Voice Letter) sort of tackles these issues again, and I wasn't much impressed by that aspect either; however, the last film was a bit more cohesive. By far, the best of these Whispering Corridors films would be Wishing Stairs. It is ambiguous in many ways, but focuses more on the horror aspect. In some ways, it goes back to its roots (Whispering Corridors No. 1) and completes a full circle. In this regard, Voice Letter is also a disappointment.
