I thought this film was excellent, Not your stereotypical horror that have come out of late,the film was a breath of fresh air.
I was sitting there half expecting a ring/grudge esque style character to pop out of the wilderness with a banshee like wail....which surprisingly didn't happily,didn't happen!
They have taken this film back to the old school style of low budget scares, not that you notice this, with a budget of 1.3 million dollars (much less than the standard budget for Korean horros) i sometimes prefer this as they then have to use atmospheric suspense to get the hairs standing on end,which equates to deep seated fear,the best kind!
There are plenty of twists and turns in the film,when you finally think you have an inclin of whats about to happen, it takes a U-turn and you end up in a completely different place.
The scariest element in the film is the fact that its based a lot in my opinion around the main characters self distrust, with failing memory due to an "accident".
I've tried not to give too much away as the story really is worth experiencing for yourself.
To end, id definitely recommend this film, lights off and plenty of snacks at hand.....Enjoy :)

Giving chase to a shadowy figure he sees leaving the scene, Kang enters a tunnel, only to be knocked down by a speeding car. Waking in hospital, with the police viewing him as a prime suspect, Kang is troubled by the gaps in his memory about the night of the murder, and sets out with local girl Min Su-jin (Jung-Suh) to investigate rumours that the wood, Spider Forest, is haunted.
