Synopsis:
A group of twenty elite high school students who taking a special class for their college entrance exam are held captive and force to play a sadistic game of question and and answer. The TV screen switches to the image of the Top 1 student Hye-yeong in a fish tank slowly filling with water. A voice announces that her life depends on the questions he sets for the remaining students. A student will die for every incorrect answer to the questions. Trapped with the students are their teachers Hwang Chan-wook and Choi So-yeong. The main character (I-na) later discovered that they are killed through their rankings in class, and she is fifth in ranking. She with other classmates must discover who is behind this killings but the only fact she's sure of is that this is related to the incident which happened two years ago when a student was murdered.
Review:
Death Bell is one of Korea's top grossing films of 2008. Personally, I like this movie more than other Asian slasher films. The deaths of the students are creatively staged, when I say creative think of the deaths in the SAW Franchise. Well, after taking a day off with Sadako-like ghosts or Twisted psychological Asian horror movies, Death Bell is a good diversion. Knowing that there's a real person behind the sadistic deaths pumped my heart beat a little. I also did not predicted that it's the guard who's behind the gruesome murders because of what happened to her daughter two years ago, The only thing I disliked about the film was the Death of kang Hyeon (Kim Bum), after all it's not always a happy ending.
