Review of Dead Friend

Dead Friend (2004)
6/10
Doesn't offer anything that for example "Ringu" hasn't.
11 December 2005
After reading the plot and reading some of the other comments regarding this film I had in mind that I might be up to experience another "Ringu" rip-off. Someone well stated that if you're new to Asian horror and have yet not grown tired of long-haired girls chasing others for revenge, well here's something for you perhaps. I feel like a some what of "veteran" of this genre now, so this one didn't bring anything new to my attention. The plot feels like something we've experienced before. The positive things to mention is that they've worked well with the "boo!" moments, combining neat sound effects with some fast-paced camera works so it may give you a few creepy moments, but it doesn't offer anything that for example "Ringu" hasn't. Please, if you have yet not seen Ringu, do it before seeing this one - I beg you! This one's a 6/10 since it is after all quite a movie based on effects and horror moments and it would certainly have scored higher if it had a plot of its own, not borrowing others.
