Oksu Station Ghost (2023)

A Creepy Mystery Undone by Its Ending

*The Ghost Station* follows a junior reporter and her best friend, who works at a train station, as they investigate a series of mysterious deaths linked to an alleged curse. The premise is simple but effective: uncover the truth behind the curse before it claims another victim.

Things become personal when the best friend is cursed during the investigation. From that point onward, the story turns into a race against time as they desperately search for a way to break the curse before he dies.

The setup reminded me a little of *The Ring*. There is a supernatural curse, a mystery to solve, and a ticking clock hanging over the characters' heads. As the investigation progresses, they eventually uncover the truth and discover a method to escape their fate.

Unfortunately, this is also where the movie completely lost me.

**Spoilers Ahead**

After learning how to break the curse, the best friend saves himself by transferring it to the junior reporter.

Yes, his best friend.

That single plot point overshadowed everything that came before it. Throughout the rest of the movie, I kept waiting for the reporter to completely lose her temper and seek revenge. I expected some kind of confrontation, fallout, or emotional payoff after such a betrayal.

But none of that happened.

Instead, she accepted the situation, found someone she believed deserved the curse, and passed it on to them. The end.

I was far more disturbed by the betrayal than by any of the supernatural elements. The movie spent so much time building their friendship that his decision felt especially cruel, yet the story barely explored the consequences. Because of that, the ending left me frustrated rather than satisfied.

Overall, *The Ghost Station* had an intriguing premise and a decent mystery, but one character decision completely changed how I felt about the entire film. Long after the credits rolled, the thing I remembered most wasn't the curse—it was the friend who chose to save himself at someone else's expense.
