Korean horror thriller tells the story of Mi-ju, a virtuoso cellist who survives a brutal car accident and decides to spend more time with her family, becoming a music teacher. But just when her life seems to be in order, a series of eerie and alarming events--involving her mute daughter, a creepy new housekeeper, and a dangerously...

Cello is an interesting and involving film that isn't too scary, but it manages to keep your attention...Like most Asian films, it does focus on building tension through the atmosphere...The story is much more rich, with well-developed characters but it doesn't focus much on typical horror scares...
Overall, I think most people will like "Cello." for it's classic Asian approach..a good example of horror at its best...Flixster - Share Movies
If you haven't seen a lot of Asian horror, this might be a great watch for you, but having seen a lot of these types of films, I was kinda underwhelmed by this one. The twist ending was something I guessed by the 30-40 minute mark, which isn't a good sign.
Rental.
chiiling korean horror movie..to be honest..I got lost in the last 10 minutes..but the last frame is one heckuva money shot...should run a cold chill down your spine...a bit slow moving, but nice use of sound and acting is above par
By no means is this a great movie: In fact, it's mediocre at best for the whole 'Asian Horror' genre. That being said, it's still a fun little film, and is far superior to anything 'horror' that's been offered from a US studio in decades. All in all, if you want horror, this isn't bad. See it before Hollywood destroys...err...remakes it.
Like any Asian ghost story you've already seen, but a bit shit. Seriously, when it comes to Asian horror I'm easily pleased, throw in a Yurei or Onryou and I'm happy (I'm happy with the Ju On remakes, for God's sake, how easy to please is that?!), but this was just...a bit nothing. I didn't care about any of the characters, and while there were a few quite beautiful creepy images they were lost the the whole pointlessness of it. Having suspense is a good thing, but there were seriously few payoffs to counteract the vast chasms of 'suspense'. Surely, suspense without payoff is nothing happening? You decide. The plot itself was not bad, but sometimes they don't need to be so overly complicated. It's a shame because the cover looks so good.
stay far away from it! It's god awful!!! Everything is really predictable and the pay-off is no better. For a horror film, I shouldn't be laughing that much.
Another good asian horror movie. It's not a good movie because it was great special efffects or awsome creepy moments, wich it does't have, it is a good movie because it was a good story and two very unexpected and interesting twists.
The movie plot is so good that it turns the movie more into a drama than into a horror movie, a normal feature in asian horror movies.
To be a better movie it should have more creepy moments because the rest it sure does have. The end especially is great: first it seams to be tragic, then a twist comes and give us the idea that everything will be ok, but then another twist comes and everything turns out to be horrific again.
Overall it's a good movie with some major flaws (due to the lack of a higher budget) in visual effects and creepyness that don't allow the movie to be perfect.
Ugh. Cello is just maddeningly bad. Where do I start? The relentless cribbing from every other successful Asian horror ever? The fact that every single subplot dies in the water without contributing to the movie at all? The lousy performances? The cheap aesthetics and sloppy, off-frame camerawork? The idiotic twist ending? The fact that it's not scary?
You know, I really don't feel like starting at all. This movie is such a generic waste of time that it doesn't deserve any more of my minutes. The ones I already expended crawling through it and praying for it to get better are never coming back to me.
If you've seen Ringu (black-haired girl ghost), Tale of Two Sisters (entire aesthetic sensibility), Phone (past rivalry gone sour), The Eye (plot with heavy musical themes), Dark Water (devotion to the daughter), Acacia (disintegration of the family unit), or even Suicide Club (remaining weirdness factor), this movie has absolutely nothing new to offer you. This might have some flash-in-the-pan value to an Asian Extreme virgin, but even those barely inducted into the genre have no need to see this movie.
Another exceptional one. The lead actress was outstanding. The whole movie was just well done overall.
This film was made within 2 months and was one of the lowest budget films ever made. however i found the film gripping none the less with 2 unexpected twists *ooooh*
A celloist no longer plays because of something in her past, but what will happen when that comes back to haunt her. This is some great horror fun.
I never get tired of seeing K-horrors. And NEVER will. Cello is just another great ghost story added to the list.
