Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Robert Joyner

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This was a random little horror movie I stumbled across and no wonder it stayed little. What a snooze. It stars Maggie Siu (whose most memorable role for me is "Siu Chiu" in the 80's TVB Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre) as a bad mother. The problem is that's not what the role's meant to be, just that she's depressed or something and the director has her painted in a totally unsympathetic light. That keeps the audience at a further distance from what's already a cold movie, in which there's not a lot of score, action, or even dialogue. The story is reminiscent of The Sixth Sense, in that the daughter sees ghosts at home and the mother doesn't believe her. Sadly, there's where the similarity ends as it progresses into a boring tale of how the mother and daughter's lives parallel the ones of the ghosts. It wouldn't be so bad if there were scares and tension but nope, the movie's pretty lame.
