Featured reviews
The staging and cinematography of the ghost sequences is slightly more creativa than average. So it's fun to watch.
As someone who watches a lot of Taiwanese drama and movie, I can say that the acting wasn't that bad. There were a lot of incomprehensible screaming but that's it. The story was interesting, the cgi could have been better but it's still not awful (I've seen much worse).
In overall, I liked it. My cup of tea with a good plot twist. I'm hoping for a second movie because of the ending tho.
Solid Taiwanese horror; tho nothing too original, it's done very well with some legitimately creepy moments, very fitting atmosphere, and a nice little twist at the end. Overall, it feels a bit like...Blair Witch Project meets The Grudge.
The plot of this film is simple. College kids dare to test the validity of a curse with dire consequences.
The layout of the film is fine. There is plenty of tension and an attempt to cleverly reveal the story but there is a lot of, how to describe it? Annoying, needless, girly screaming. It is distracting and steals from what the viewer could be feeling. It's just too much at least from my perspective.
I thought it was a decent enough film. The acting may have been a bit weak but it is no worse than a lot of other horror films. I say if you like Asian horror, you should check it out. It most likely will not make a top ten list but it is made and presented fairly well and the reveal, while a bit predictable, tries to be clever. It was an ok watch for me.

This film is set on a university campus in Taiwan where a reporter is investigating the deaths of five students. They died four years previously to the day... on the twenty ninth of February 2016. Apparently victims of a bridge that has been cursed since a student died there some years previously. Through a series of flashbacks we see the students taking part in a test of courage on the bridge and what happened subsequently.
Early on I thought I might have picked a dud here but it isn't long before things improve. As a chiller it is highly effective; more than once it gave me goose bumps and the way many characters are clearly terrified creates a great atmosphere. Inevitably there are some jumps scares; I didn't find them excessive though. We do get some decent twists, which I personally didn't see coming. The acting was solid enough as were most of the special effects. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of far eastern ghost stories looking for something made somewhere other than Japan or South Korea.
