      Suffering from depression, Joey (Shu Qi) takes an overdose of sleeping pills, and has a close brush with death, even having visions of dead people accompanying her during her darkest moments. But now that she is blessed with a second chance, she vows never to return to self-destruction again, or to Sam - her romantic interest. However, when Joey finds out she is pregnant with Sam's child, she has no choice but to try to contact him, to no avail. Deeply troubled by the thought of having an abortion, Joey becomes delusional and emotionally unstable. To make matters worse, ever since her near-death experience, she is able to see dead people�


Review:

      Nobody in the movie house screamed while watching the film. I guess it's because most of the people anticipated the "scary" scenes or they just developed an immunity for Asian horror. I admit that I expected too much from the film. The movie trailer I watched in the television was very tempting so I decided to watch it just have a good scare.

      Most of the scenes were a cliche of the past movies like "The Ring," and "The Grudge." The scenes were a bit predictable but nonetheless, the plot was good and I guess original because it was based on Buddhist belief on reincarnation. However, if you're not used to watching films with subtitles then this movie is not for you.

Blogger's Notes: If you're a pregnant woman then don't watch this film. Oh and one thing... Bakit ang mga title ng mga Asian horror films karamihan may "The"? Mas nakakatakot ba pag may "the?"
