      Audience Member WT... I didn't expect a ghost story in the first place. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member O filme parece misturar vários outros exemplares do gênero, assim como seriados. De "Arquivo X" a "Warehouse 13" tem-se de tudo. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Um oficial da policia, após ferir e matar um perigoso criminoso, é transferido para outro departamento chamado "Departamento de Assuntos Diversos" onde o objetivo é investigar casos fantasmagóricos e escondê-los do público. A regra número um desse departamento é: "Não existe nenhum fantasma nesse mundo". Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A great suspense/horror film. A very original story Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Hay tres reglas en el Departamento de Asuntos Extraños Regla numero 3; Las cosas nunca son lo que parecen Regla numero 2; No dejes nunca que te toquen Regla número 1; Los fantasmas NO existen. Recomendable pero Defectuosa. Desperdicia por completo la idea del Departamento cuyo nombre realmente es de Asuntos Misceláneos dentro de la Policía de Hong Kong. No establece bien las reglas del mundo paranormal (hay un pelonzazo que si me pongo a describirlo es spoiler). Típico del cine asiático, debe ser porque ellos no tienen la telenovelas latinas, mete subtramas dramáticas que no se desarrollan. Aunque hay sugerida una historia de amor que en sí misma es como micro cuento y es bellísima y muy romàntica! Para su INRI se fusila por completo Fallen de 1998 -una de mis películas favoritas en las que celebro que gana el malo, pero con qué estilo-, diez años después, que nadie venga a decirme que no se copia la trama, eso fue muy chocante porque no es para nada original, incluso se copia la idea del epilogo: Principio de Fallen: Azazel: I wanna tell you about the time I almost died.... Azazel: Can you imagine what it feels like to be alive for thousands of years, and then realize you're actually going to die, 'cause some self-righteous cop decided that he was going to save the fucking world? Final de Fallen: Azazel: You've been on the force so long you think you've seen it all, but you haven't. 'Cause life's always got one more surprise for you. And sometimes, it's a big one. Azazel: Oh! You forgot something, didn't you? Back at the start, I said I was going to tell you about the time I *almost* died. [chuckles] Azazel: Be seeing you. Pero lo más INFAME es la manera en que decidieron contar la historia y el recurso facilón y mediocre para darle un giro a la historia mediante un corte y pega horrible. Quizás lo más resaltante de la película sea su final inmisericordioso, que a mi en lo particular me chocó hasta la repulsión y el rechazo, condenando de mi parte la suerte de esta peli en mi ponderación final. Sin embargo otra persona podría ponerle 5 estrellas sólo por un final cojonudo. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A pretty nice entertainer where the ghost is contagious...it possess its next victim by merely a touch. But this isn't the main issue in this film, the good part comes through the good characterization, decent flow of the story & the twist at the end.
