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
- If you count yourself among people who like the lights on afterwards and anyone who wants a laugh, this one's for you. The scares come from the creaks and shadows as much as the jumps. Shelve it next to Fright Night.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 25 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in Cantonese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
A millionaire's son falls in love with a disreputable prostitute, but their romance is forbidden by his father. After the son dies in an accident, his restless spirit still yearns for his forbidden love.
