Summary: Run of the mill
Review: This week's inevitable asian horror review from me, is "Shiver", a "Eyes of Laura Mars" imitator with some neat moments, but some tired ones as well.
The wife of a cop who is getting ready to leave him, is delayed in her departure by being shot in the head by accident when he gets out of their car in traffic to deal with some robbers. When she eventually comes to, she has apparently gained some sort of psychic powers, and in addition to seeing some murders happen around town before they happen, she keeps seeing this "Ringu" like girl hanging around her apartment giving her the living-dead stare down.
This is a fairly run of the mill horror, with a mystery killer that we should be able to try and figure out for ourselves, but the clues are too sparse, and the situation leads one to believe that things are more supernatural than they really are. A dissapointing silly ending involving hypnosis as a flimsy explanation completely defuses what comes close to at points being a better than average thriller.
