Caution Spoilers
Synopsis:
If there is any doubt contrast the first few minutes of the film, with the content around an hour and eleven minutes in. Sure we get some answers but it is like a horrible acid trip with 3D dabbled in the center, or near the end, I guess. Cheun's Wife is soon revealed as our villain and she is super bitchy and I enjoy the fact that she feels up Raine sort of but then she asks a stupid question like, "Why are you pregnant?"
A group of friends find themselves stranded in an old hotel. As they uncover the history beneath the walls they're slowly drawn into its sinister past making it harder to get out alive!
Review:
Skip it, in my opinion.
Rainie Yang, who plays our heroine, Rainie, is not compelling and comes off as whiny, though I think the Pang Brothers wanted her to come of as strong willed. At first, I thought I was supposed to feel sorry for her, and I did, since her boyfriend, Lok, (played by Shawn Yue) seemed like a real tool. However, around the kitchen scene, when Rainie confronted Cheun, our supposed bad guy, I found myself thinking, shoot me now, please. Then, when I realized that Cheun was the father to that half-human-dog-faced, monster, I wondered if the movie had changed on me. I thought that I was watching a horror/ghost story but then I realized, that I was watching a fluster cuck.

Seriously, when did a super crazy ghost become so compassionate-ish... she did kill innocent puppies and gave birth to the human-dog hybrid, which she tried to kill, after all. Honestly, if you made it this far, into the movie or this review, you have realized that I was right, the movie sucks. Or you are thinking, this guy just does not get it, which might be valid. Then, I guess the only thing left is to watch the movie and lose an hour and half of your life. I did and mostly regret it.
Only mostly, you might ask? I can warn others away from the film, which means it is kind of like a good deed or something. Also, I can say that not every Asian horror film is great and compelling.
