Alot of you knows that i'm a big fans of horror movie. This movie was some sort related to one of Beijing haunted house and it was shot in 3D version. The 3D effect might be good, but the story is not that strong for me, feel like something is lacking, its not scary enough for me. What a waste~

The whole movie is still ok, but the pace is a bit slow. The best part will be Deanie's acting, Andy Lau is very good too. Deanie Jie has show us she is good enough to won multiples best actress in a lot of awards~
