After reaching the top of the box office last year with the romantic comedy hit ``Tongapnaegi Kwawehagi (An Extra Class),’’ actress Kim Ha-neul got a frostier reception earlier this year from audiences with the ice thriller ``Bingu (Ice Rain).’’ Kim now returns to the screen with ``Ryung (The Ghost),’’ one of a handful of teenage horror tales to hit theaters this summer.
自从以爱情喜剧《同龄家教》获得去年票房第一后，演员金荷娜今年初参与演出的冰雪惊险片《冰雨》受到观众比较冷淡的待遇。(jher 注：这报道员好像不知道荷娜的《不要
相信她》获得很大的成功) 金如今又以《灵》（鬼）回到银幕上。《灵》是几部今年
夏天放映的少年恐怖片之一。
``Ghost’’ is a bit off the beaten path for an actress who is usually found in romantic roles in comedies and dramas. Kim stars as Ji-won, a college student who suffers from amnesia; she can’t remember anything about her past, and frightening dreams and a vague association to water are all that remain of her identity. Gradually, she discovers that something happened to her in high school, which becomes clearer as members of the high school clique she supposedly hung out with wind up dead.
一个通常演出爱情片的演员，参与《灵》是让人觉得有点出乎意料之外的。金在戏中演
Ji-won，一个失去记忆的大学生，她对过去的一切一点也记不起来，她总是做可怕的梦
，同时模模糊糊记得一切似乎和与水有关。慢慢的，她发现在高中时，她曾遇到过一些不
好的事情。当她高中的一群好友一个一个死去后，事情逐渐的清楚了。
The film looks like it could have been the most recent installment of ``Yogogwedam (Whispering Corridors),’’ a popular series of horror films that takes place in high school, and in many ways it aims for the same teen audience. In trying to stay within the ``12-and-over’’ rating, the film remains fairly tame in its depiction of its horror, giving only hints at what happens to the victims _ with the usual evil eyes and high-pitched screams _ and leaving the audience to fill in the gruesome details.
这影片就好像是Whispering Corridors － 很成功的高级中学恐怖片，的其中一集。
在很多方面，它也是对准同一批青年观众。影片尽量的争取为“12岁以上”级别，
因此恐怖程度是有节制的。只对受害者为何死亡给以暗示 － 应用一般的邪恶眼睛和
尖叫，而让观众自己去想像吓人的细节。
There’s not a lot in ``Ghost’’ that hasn’t been done before. The eerie, gothic quality of Kim’s house, which she shares with her alcoholic, psychotic mother, is also reminiscent of ``Changhwa, Hongryun (A Tale of Two Sisters),’’ but without the same evocative sensuality. The best thing about the film in fact is Kim, who does an apt job playing what amounts to a split personality when her new angelic self discovers her evil high-school side.
《灵》并没有什麽特别的、其他的电影没有的地方。金和她那患有精神病的母亲的家，
那令人毛骨索然、歌德式的建筑物和《姐魅情深》中的有些相似，但没有那麽引人
入胜。影片最出色的，其实是金荷娜，她很巧妙的演绎一个精神分裂者，以新的、天
使一般的内心，发现了高中时邪恶的一面。
The summer of horror began slowly at the box office when ``Face’’ opened with a whimper last week. Seeing as how competition will only get stiffer with the local release of ``Shrek 2,’’ things are not looking too good for ``Ghost’’ either.
今年的夏日恐怖脚步缓慢，《脸》上星期以令人失望的票房表现开映。Shrek2即将开映，
在强力的兢争下，《灵》的前景是不容乐观的。
