This was an absurd movie.

The only positive I can think of saying about this movie is its opening scene which I liked.

The acting was decent though.

The scares were there.... but were not effective at all except the opening bit.

The whole events takes place in a barber shop that is also a hotel.

I watched the entire movie just to see how it will end and the twists though not impressive made me stick till the end.

The scores were okay for me...loud but I wasn't bothered by that.

The plot was mediocre.

The cinematography was okay.

And I did like the setting.

BUT I WON'T RECOMMEND THIS ONE.

This is not a bad horror flick from China that takes place in a barber's shop, where a bunch of crimes that might be related to the paranormal occurs. The thrilling introduction grabs your attention, giving you a good dose of ghostly action.

The barber shop setting gives you a spooky feeling, with the hidden room behind a forbidden door will leave you guessing - adding to the tension and mystery of each character's motives.

Though there really isn't much new material you haven't seen before in a horror movie (almost feels like a slasher film with a little dose of paranormal stuff), the feeling of intrigue and suspense will grip you from start to finish, all resulting in a surprising climax.

Grade B-
