Memento Mori

*** This review may contain spoilers *** 8 out of 10 _When your time has come/ You know you'll be lonely once again/ And the final winter comes to us all -Memento Mori (2005), Kamelot_ Memento Mori (1999) is the second movie in the Yeogo goedam (aka Whispering Corridors) series, which I only had the chance to watch recently. I'm often of the mind that the earlier work has enjoyed the luxury of being the better work. While it may not surpass the adroitness or elegance of the debut Whispering Corridors (1998), it still imparts a heavier emotional burden than the third installment, Wishing Stairs (2003), although the latter invokes a more eerie sense of foreboding, largely due to its Faustian bargain theme composed against a perpetual dark ambiance.
