BUCHEON, South Korea (Hollywood Reporter) – Four schoolgirls make a pact to die together but when their titular "Blood Pledge" goes horribly wrong, mistrust, guilt and paranoia cause a deadly rift in their relationships.
Even with a knotty plot and overused premise, having a cast of pretty girls in uniforms will attract some audiences especially among teenagers.
The South Korean film has been pre-sold to a distributor for Southeast Asia territories. Talks of a remake have been reported.
Although Lee Jong Yong’s personal signature as a director is faint, he does capture the fragile and elusive nature of teenage female friendships, while infusing enough suspense to save the film from total torpor. However, as far as horror films go, the scares never go beyond the obligatory long hair and blood stained face, making this the most conventional of the Yeogogodam series of horror films set in girls’ high schools, which include "Whispering Corridors" and "Memento Mori….."
