Aiming to harness the energy found in some supernatural spirits, scientist Hashimoto (Yosuke Eguchi) and colleagues catch the ghost of a young boy. Hashimoto plans to use the energy to fuel an anti-gravity device he's invented. But, in order to tap into the ghost's essence, he must understand the silent words coming from its mouth. The scientists call in police officer Tung (Chen Chang), who can read lips, but, as they learn that the boy was murdered, the experiment goes in a scary direction.

Ray Bennett The Hollywood Reporter The film relies heavily on dramatic music for its thrills and some of the effects are a bit cheesy, but it appears to be so well meant that these flaws are easily forgiven. May 26, 2006 Full Review Derek Elley Variety Over-complicated script, which tries to mix science, ghost cliches and protags' personal problems in a single pot, starts OK but gradually runs out of steam after the first 40 minutes. May 25, 2006 Full Review Don Willmott Filmcritic.com isn't quite the terrorfest that it's billed as, but it will hold your interest. Just don't expect to scream. Rated: 3/5 Jul 31, 2008 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Su Chao-Bin does some remarkable things by keeping his little ghost in plain sight; he creates the kind of dead-on spectral chills that all the silly jump-scares in the world can't quite equal. Jun 22, 2007 Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena Depois de prender a ateno do pblico durante sua metade inicial graas a idias e momentos interessantes, o roteiro se perde sem maiores avisos, transformando-se em uma baguna capaz de levar at mesmo o mais paciente dos espectadores loucura. Rated: 2/5 Jan 18, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Triggered an obsessive infatuation! I just had to find out how and why the little boy became a ghost! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Lento, noioso e pasticciato. Si salva in parte solo per i temi trattati e qualche momento qua e là... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A surprisingly good ghost story. Deserves to be more well known. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member boy thank god the asians have revived the horror genre and this is a 2 jump ghost story Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member what an awesome movie! probably the most interesting ghost movie I've ever seen. I think the story may have been a little too epic for the movie's budget, but I still love it and they did a fucking great job with what they had. I actually wouldn't mind seeing an american remake one day, and I don't say that very often. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Lots of scientific views in this movie. Learned a lot. This movie was very interesting and had its share of creepy moments. Recommended (: Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
