With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for fans of a good haunting and martial arts fans. The scares come from the creaks and shadows as much as the jumps. The fight choreography is a big part of the appeal.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 35 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Chinese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1979: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Two young martial artists enter a martial arts tournament. They also have to deal with ghosts.
