I personally enjoy this movie. The sound, cinematography, wardrobe, location are all top notched. The acting is on point, there is no over the top acting or cringe inducing funny moments that plagued so many hong kong movies. The director Chan is surprisingly young and yet I can see he's a very steady hand and a crew that works well together for him. There is still hope for hk cinema.
Many Hong Kong thrillers suffer from over styled over produced (by Hong Kong standard) and over acting. I feel like this one has none of those and it has a good story and direction to back everything up. Nick Tse is a pretty boy but this flick he plays a man all right. The film was released in 2008 and I just caught it in 2020. I have no expectation after seeing too many thoughtless glossy productions, but this one is an exception and a pleasant surprise.
I feel like this is a remake or a tribute to the 1982 Poltergeist. I didn't read any back story of this movie to find out if the director or writer has ever acknowledged that or it is just me seeing too many similarities between the two. See Poltergeist if you like Insidious, it's a much better movie.
