L² Comment:
This is a cheap cost horror film at that time, the storyline is so so and the spirits are not scary at all. The best will be the music which is really kinda eerrie.

But at that time, an old man has a heart attack and passed away in the cinema. I believe the movie has nothing to do with the sad incident because the movie is really really kinda lame.
