Loner (2008)

Director: Jae-shik Park

Premise:
After a teenage girl's best friend commits suicide after being bullied, she locks herself inside her room becoming a recluse. Her uncle's fiancee, a psychiatrist, digs deep into the situation to find family secrets and a supernatural force.

My Take:
The movie does a good job at showing bullying and it's rammifacations. Plus there is a decent mystery surrounding the family. Strong acting by the young leads help add to the subject matter.

Rating: In the middle (but better than most of its type)
