Description:
The third film in the Korean WHISPERING CORRIDORS series, WISHING STAIRS, likes its predecessors, is a tale of horror and haunting set in an all-girls boarding school. This entry, however, benefits from its female director, Jae-yeon Yun, who is able to bring an awareness of the challenges facing adolescent girls to the film. Best friends Kim So-hie and Yun Ji-seong both study ballet at an exclusive girls school, but So-hie has the advantages of talent and a moneyed upbringing. Ji-seong hears a strange rumor about the 28 steps that lead up to the dormitory building; Legend has it, if you climb the 28 stairs leading to the school dormitory and count each step aloud, a 29th step will appear and a spirit will grant you a wish. If your intentions are honorable, your wish can be a blessing of good fortune. When Ji-seong observes a unpopular and unattractive classmate suddenly become a well-liked beauty, she is convinced this supernatural technique can help her become the head of the ballet class. But at this high school, where jealousy and paranoia reign supreme, malicious wishes are about to unleash an unspeakable evil. Be careful of what you wish for; some wishes were never meant to be granted. WISHING STAIRS is a low-key, gothic horror tale that focuses on its characters and exploring the difficulties facing adolescent girls.
