Story:

In Taipei, a team of ghost hunters pay a freelance camera man to photograph places looking for paranormal activity. From the sounds of things, previous attempts have been unsuccessful. The camera man is taking his pictures and this time captures a picture of a boy in a seemingly empty room. The team of ghost hunters are thrilled and take it upon themselves to further investigate.

They bring a police officer, a sharp shooter and a lip reader for further help in their investigation for further study of Ghost. The officer has a sick mother who is in the state of coma and has decaying body. Though the officer refuses to offer help in the initial stages, he accepts the case due to curiosity. On the other side the director of this entire program calls the team to pack their research as it seems to prove worthless and costly to Japanese government. The team reveals a magnetic cube which can split itself and capture energy of any form. Its capacity to hold energy is such that it can withstand the force of gravity and float in air. The director obviously agrees to offer further support. Its further revealed that the walls of the room of the captured ghost is packed with such thousands of cube to obstruct the movement of ghost boy.

The inclusion of police officer angers one of teammate who decides to take revenge from the team. She steps into the room of captured ghost and sprays a energy synchronizer which allows her to capture the ghost inside her pocket. The team which arrives later is shocked of the missing ghost and demands her to tell the truth. In the mean time ,the ghost escapes from her pocket and kills her. Her soul appears for a short span of time and vanishes. It will be quite astonishing as to why the soul of the boy is still persisting.

Further observation reveals that the captured ghost follows a fixed pattern of activities like staring out of window and trying to walk through door at particular time. This causes the team to set the ghost boy free into the open world to trace his activities. The police officer follows the boy to his school which apparently was the place of his suicide. The ghost boy was also found to leave a trace of silk strands along his foot steps.

Investigation in school revels that the place and cause of his death. They follow it to dead body and conclude the he was strangled to death by his own mother. This urged a strong hate in him which has made his soul to become unstable. Further the body of this dead boy is found to be in the center of a nuclear fusion reactor whose magnetic flux is also found to have cause his unstable soul.

The police officer doubts a relation between the ghost boy and the silk strands .He follows the silk strands which leads him to a unwell women in an hospital, who dies shortly after sometime. On the other side the director issues orders to seize the project which angers the team leader. The team leaders captures the soul of the boy in magnetic cube and leaves without a trace. This causes the soul of the boys mother to take revenge on all the persons involved in the team. She starts killing all those involved in the team.

The movie ends up in a very unusual way where the team leader sets the ghost boy free and kills himself in the same spot as of the boy so that he can turn into a ghost and the police officer almost killed by the ghost of boy's mother is brought to life by the ghost boy.

I remember all my coursemates kept on tell me how good the movie is when it is on the cinema. But when i watch it in the cinema that time, its still ok, but not as good as what has been told. The whole movie dont seems that scary as what has been show in the trailer. Maybe the trailer has shown all it has on the horror part, which is kinda dissapointing.

After a few years and re-watching this film, i found that the whole movie is kinda complicated about the connection of ghost with humans. And watching the subtitles of Yosuke Eguchi is quite tiring too~ lol. But its a good try for Su Zhao Bin to shot this kind of film, hope to see more from him soon.

Story:

Psychiatrist Dr. Jim Law tries to treat his patient, Cheung Yan, a woman who believes that she sees ghosts. Law does not believe in the supernatural and thinks that she is repressing her past. Law reads Yan's diaries to better understand her psyche and learns that her parents are divorced and do not care for her. Yan's condition improves gradually and they develop a romantic relationship at the same time.

However, Law feels that he cannot become too close to Yan because she is his patient and tries to convey the message to her indirectly. Yan understands his words and feels hurt, as she thinks that he is dumping her in the same way as her ex-boyfriend did. She starts having hallucinations again and sees the spirits of her landlord's deceased wife and son, after which she attempts suicide by overdosing on antidepressants and slitting her wrist, but survives. Law travels to Yan's apartment later and hears strange noises in the bathroom and thinks that her neighbour upstairs is responsible. Once, Law sees a female ghost while looking out of his window, and sees her again on another two occasions while driving and swimming. He starts taking antidepressants as well and tries to electrocute himself, but is rescued in time and recovers.

Law eventually helps Yan recover from her mental illness by reuniting her with her parents. Following that, he starts dating Yan as she is no longer his patient. While in a restaurant one day, Law is attacked by a woman, whom he remembers to be the mother of the ghost he saw. He starts having nightmares and begins sleepwalking, behaving erratically and reacting violently when Yan and his colleagues ask him. The ghost that Law sees is actually Siu-yu, his ex-girlfriend in high school, who committed suicide after Law broke up with her. Law has visions of Siu-yu following him wherever he goes and flees in horror until he finally reaches the top of a building. He is confronted by Siu-yu's ghost, who wants to force him to jump off. Law shows remorse for causing Siu-yu's death and the ghost disappears.

After that, he sees Yan walking towards him and embraces her, and the film ends with both of them sitting together on the top of the building.

The whole film is not bad, the storyline is kinda familiar with some Korean or Japs horror, but hell yea~ all the ghost story are usually the same right? :P The part which actually shock me a bit is when Karena open the toilet cabinet and saw 2 heads appear in muddy situation. Cool~
