Excellent film! The start was a little rocky but everything was brought to a nice finish

I wasn't disappointed....
I saw the low-star rating (and I usually don't let stars alone determine my decisions in watching something), and selected it anyway. To be honest, I was rather surprised... It was a fun little horror flick... not overly predictable. And the endings were great! By that I mean endings of certain characters. The multiple-character ending was wonderful. I kept thinking it was over, and yet another delightful death! Not 5-stars, but definitely worth the watch. If nothing else... because you have nothing to do. =P

Very good horror movie
Very good horror movie. One of the best I have seen in awhile. Both lead actress are mediocre. Everything ties together at the end. I just might watch it again! Lots of little fright scenes right from the start! I would include this in my treasure trove of horror movies! Almost 4.5 stars in my opinion for the storyline. Better than most horror movies in the U.S.and not a lot of blood and gore. Highly recommended!

I will watch it again in hopes l understand better next time
Not bad but confusing so many scenes about the legend and then a little more input, and a little more, and so on and so forth.

That being said it was still better than a lot of American fright flicks
Entertaining if somewhat predictable horror movie.That being said it was still better than a lot of American fright flicks.A good way to kill ninety minutes.

A ghost movie that is soulless.
Muoi is a paint-by-numbers Korean horror flick about a ghost of vengeance (a ghost with a GRUDGE, if you will) that lives in a painting (as opposed to, say, a videotape, or a cell phone). Sounds super original, right?You can probably guess my issues with Muoi. We've been down this road in countless other Asian horror movies over the past decade or so, and Muoi has absolutely nothing unique to add to the mix. It even manages to be a slightly worse movie than the films it is so blatantly ripping off, due to wooden acting and cheeseball special effects.Muoi almost achieves two stars, solely because it descends into comical horror schlock in the last ten minutes of the film, which is a delightful change of pace from the utterly boring and predictable rest of the film. Sadly, Muoi even manages to ruin that fun by then ending exactly how you thought it would from about five minutes in.Bottom line: Avoid Muoi at all costs. There really is no reason to recommend this film when movies like the Grudge, the Ring, or One Missed Call have already been around for years and years and have done this exact story, only better.
