A well-executed attempt at a genre that is rare in Taiwanese cinema. The contribution from all of the technical departments is outstanding and provides a feast for the senses.

This is a delicate and well-crafted performance in which the acting is subtle and minimal, expressing emotions through the tiniest of details to give the audience a progressive sense of fear.

The composition of every frame convincingly expresses the atmosphere and the environment of the film's story, and successfully uses photography to reflect the power of violence and fear.

Compared to the often excessive use of over-wrought music in many Taiwanese films, the music here is admirably restrained and appropriate to its story, assisting in the creation of the film's chilling atmosphere.
