Reviews:
“While some of the scares are telegraphed the story flows quite well and The Ghost Station has a handful of surprises up its sleeve […] Much like The Ring, the truth behind the happenings of The Ghost Station is extremely dark and its conclusion suggests we could return to the station one more time.” Bloody Flicks
” …even though there is a background as to why these deaths occurred at the Oksu station, it feels like it lacks depth. Some of the characters feel a little exaggerated, making them uncomfortable to watch. As for the ending itself, in my opinion, it’s quite okay, even though it might be a little forced, but it feels right to close the story.” 2.5 out of 5, Dibalikcerita [translated from Indonesian]
“The film is an atmospheric horror film that builds suspense and dread as it unfolds. It has apparitions, curses that can be transferred and a backstory to the child monsters. In this movie, we see the ghost’s point of view of why they are seeking justice for their death.” High on Films
