Memento Mori is apparently a sequel to Whispering Corridors, which was a reasonably enjoyable Asian ghost story set in an all girl's school, but although the location may be the same, the characters and events are totally unrelated (so there's no need to bother seeing the original film first if you haven't already).
Unrequited Sapphic schoolgirl lust, suicide, and a scorned spook are the order of the day, all of which sounds like a recipe for some serious fun, but the manner in which Memento Mori is executed is so messy that confusion and then boredom are the inevitable outcome.
The film begins with schoolgirl Min-Ah finding a diary written by two of her classmates, who are one step away from rubbing rug. As Min-Ah delves deeper into the girls' private scribblings and learns more of their relationship, things begin to get really weird and completely unfathomable, a fractured time-line that whips erratically between events past and present not exactly helping matters.
Other reviewers here on IMDb found the film subtle, surreal, and touching; I would add 'totally boring'.
