Whispering Corridors 3, Wishing Stairs: Movie Review

We here at LesbeAsian would highly recommend this movie. In fact we give it a 4/5 star rating.

Wishing Stairs is the third installment of a series of Whispering Corridors Korean horror films. All of the stories are set in an all girls high school, with various inclusions of the creepy supernatural, suspenseful unexpected, as well as the gore that is expected in a good thriller. The most awesome aspect of the series however, are the overt lesbian relationships throughout each film.

If the French have “Paris Je T’Aime” and Americans have “New York, I Love You,” Jakarta may soon have its own cinema-inspired motto exclaiming its love and celebrating its lovers.

“Sanubari Jakarta” (“Jakarta Deep Down”), a new movie featuring 10 short films by 10 different directors, opens today. The film portrays lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender relationships throughout Jakarta.

Produced by Fira Sofiana and actress Lola Amaria, “Sanubari Jakarta” is a collaboration between the Kresna Duta Foundation (a film organization), the Ardhanary Institute (supporters of diverse sexualities) and the Ford Foundation (social change advocates). Dimas Hary, from Kresna Duta, said “Sanubari Jakarta” championed the cause of the underrepresented and persecuted LGBT community in Jakarta.
