{"product_id":"wishing-stairs","title":"Wishing Stairs","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThe South Korean \"Ghost School\" trilogy comes to a close with Wishing Stairs, a typically creepy example of modern Asian horror. First-time director Yoon Jae-Yeon was fresh out of film school when she signed on for this commercial assignment, and her rookie status makes this a lesser entry in the \"Asian Extreme\" genre, following the trilogy's previous installments, Whispering Corridors and Memento Mori. Still, fine performances and attention to psychological detail make this an effectively eerie study of peer pressure, classroom cruelty, and blind ambition in a girls' art school, where three aspiring ballerinas make fateful wishes upon an enchanted staircase (or is it cursed?) near their school. According to legend, if you climb the 28 steps and count each step aloud, a 29th step will magically appear and a fox-spirit will grant your wish. Fierce competition, paranoia, and malicious intentions make these \"wishing stairs\" a recipe for disaster, when one girl commits suicide and another wishes for her revival. At that point, Wishing Stairs employs standard-issue horror techniques that will be familiar to anyone who's seen Ju-On or the Japanese version of Dark Water (including the ghostly girl with long black hair). For patient viewers, the film's frightful climax comes not a moment too soon. A comprehensive \"making of\" documentary is included, including interview clips with primary cast and crew. --Jeff Shannon\n\nProduct Description\n\nLegend 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. But at this high school, where paranoia and jealousy reign supreme, malicious wishes are about to unleash an unspeakable evil. Be careful what you wish for; some wishes were never meant to be granted.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0009NCQL4\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0009NCQL4.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:An Jo|Ji-hyo Song|Ji-Yeon Park|Han-byeol Park|Jung-hee Moon|Su-a Hong|Ji-min Kwak|Wu-jin Jang|Jae-yeon Yun|Jeong-min Seo|Choon-yeon Lee|Eun-mi Ahn|Jae-hong Kim|Jae-beom Kim|Soyoung Lee|Sang-beom Kim\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
