It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Minor spoilers in this review. Nothing terrible just a few character trait leaks here and there. I haven't watched the entire thing.. but it's just so terrible!! The scenery is mediocre except maybe the home and there's so many things that just pop up and aren't explained. Not to mention that there's religious ignorance. I can't stand people calling other religions weired!! Anyways I'm moving on to the characters. I didn't really LIKE too many. Maybe Ms. Wu and her aunt but other than that, the main characters sucked. The new housekeeper I really wanted something bad to happen to her for almost everything she did. And then there's the overly attached ex who was kinda sorta REALLY POINTLESS from what I saw. But I give them credit for getting the Chinese beliefs at least decently right. That at least gets it an extra star from me. But the huge problem I have is it isn't scary. I mean I jumped here and there but that's primarily because I jump a little easily. There wasn't anything that actually scared me. So main point is.. movie is bad.

I just watched 31:19 of this flick and came to IMDb to rate. I should have came here before I started watching and checked the rating. It is such a poor movie. I kept hoping it would get better, but it didn't, and it's not worth watching more of it to find out; especially after reading reviews. It's a cliché, but WHAT WERE THEY THINKING when they made this movie. Complete trash. I believe I was exposed to 7 actors in the first 31 minutes and the two best are the taxi driver and the aunt--no lines. The scene where the maid character is sitting on a blanket reading a book and the neighbor comes may be the worst acting I've seen--at least in a long time. This is one of those movies that if you sit down and watch it, when it's over you'll say to yourself, "Why did I waste my time watching this?" Don't watch it.

The movie moves a little slow in the beginning, but it leads up to a climax full of unseen twists and turns. The movie is definitely influenced by Asian horror, but HARDLY A REMAKE OF ANYTHING! I can tell the filmmakers are fans of J-horror, but this really isn't a horror film, more of a thriller.Also, the extra features were very interesting on how they made the movie on such a low budget. It's worth a look if you like character-driven Ghost Stories, but if you're looking for lots of blood and guts, this isn't for you.The DVD had a cast commentary, blooper reel, an interview with the director, and a making of featurette. I really enjoyed the making of.

A horror set in modern day America based on ancient Chinese beliefs seemed like the formula for a good movie, but how wrong can you be. The premise is as good as the movie gets, with its cheesy b movie stereotypes, and Japanese horror rip offs.The only horror here, is the fact that someone had bad enough judgement to release this atrocious waste of time.This doesn't fall into the "so bad it's good" category: it falls into the "so bad its unwatchable" group.Every character is a tedious overplayed stereotype - every piece of make up is straight out of the J horror handbook. Even the badly used and heavy handed musical score is lame and intrusive rather than .If this movie has any saving grace, it's the fact that it's most unlikely to spawn a sequel.
