Alone (Thailand, 2007)

Alone tells the story of Pim who moved from Thailand to Korea to escape the guilt of being the surviving half of a conjoined twin. Flashbacks to Pim's childhood show how the bittersweet relationship with her sister, and their commitment to stay together forever, transforms into a repressive bond that ultimately leads to a separation. After she returns to visit her dying mother, the spirit of her dead sister angrily thrusts herself into Pim's life.

A ghost story that isn't half bad, though it relies heavy on jump scares. Just tell yourself that you're not going to see anything groundbreaking or particular new that hasn't been done before in the asian horror genre, and you might enjoy it more for what it is. 

Genre: Horror/Thriller
