Audience Member lucky leon works with the prettiest actresses bingbing and rene in this mainland horror love triangle. it's old fashion suspense with jump scares that slightly register but the entire cast are true professionals playing their roles well. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member it's not bad ... but the story a bit like ATV's program.... Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Well this isn't what I expected.. I was hopping for a scary film and got a dramatic thriller. Still as films go this is not that bad. A clever idea with the couple who are separated by a tragic acident where one of them is killed. The main part of the film takes place later where junchu has remarried to a nice seemstress but alas his former love still lingers and wont let death seperate her and Junchu. I liked this story but it is slow in parts and for most horror film ppl expect more action. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Can't believe we have this kind of old-fashioned (in terms of plot, dialogue, style, acting, pacing....) Chinese ghost story in recent years! Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Sansan (Rene Liu ) finds herself in an unhappy arranged marriage to melancholic film director Junchu (Leon Lai). She lives in the shadow of Junchus lover Manli (played by the ethereally beautiful Bingbing Fan) who was killed the year before. Lonely ...(read more) and despairing for the survival of her marriage, Sansan enters into a pact with Manlis ghost to win Junchus heart. There is much to like, all the performances from the small cast are spot on (Rene Liu is perfect as the shy, unhappy wife, and Bingbing Fan is a revelation). Although ostensibly a ghost story, this is suitable for those who normally steer clear of the genre, the horror element is played way down and is secondary to the wistful tale of love lost and, perhaps found again. The cinematography is superb, with Shanghai of the 50s brought to gorgeous, vibrant life. A lovely film deserving of a wider audience and, certainly not routine or cliched. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member plot is not great! the 'love' doesn't really exists between the characters. But love the setting of the movie..so beautiful and so are the music. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
