Details

Writer/Director Danny Draven takes the helm for this supernaturally driven shocker about an unassuming housekeeper drawn into a terrifying world of vengeful apparitions. According to the Chinese calendar, the seventh month of every year marks the time when the restless spirits of the dead break free from the gates of hell to mix among the mortals. During this time, specific rules must be followed to avoid falling prey to the spirits of the damned. When a solitude-seeking housekeeper arrives at the desert home of a superstitious Chinese woman and her devoutly religious aunt, death senses an opportunity to extend its grip into the mortal realm.

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Alex Zier Minor spoilers in this review. Nothing terrible just a few character trait leaks here and there. I haven't watched the entire thing.. but it's just so terrible!! The scenery is mediocre except maybe the home and there's so many things that just pop up and aren't explained. Not to mention that there's religious ignorance. I can't stand people calling other religions weired!! Anyways I'm moving on to the characters. I didn't really LIKE too many. Maybe Ms. Wu and her aunt but other than that, the main characters sucked. The new housekeeper I really wanted something bad to happen to her for almost everything she did. And then there's the overly attached ex who was kinda sorta REALLY POINTLESS from what I saw. But I give them credit for getting the Chinese beliefs at least decently right. That at least gets it an extra star from me. But the huge problem I have is it isn't scary. I mean I jumped here and there but that's primarily because I jump a little easily. There wasn't anything that actually scared me. So main point is.. movie is bad.
tinep Just watched this movie and was pleasantly surprised by the twist and turn of the story. I was growing sick of Hollywood horror films with all the gore and violence and I didn't feel like watching those kinds of movies, so this movie didn't fit any of the above category and just was what I wanted to see. The story follows a young woman who was looking for a job to escape her life and found one in a remote place. The rest of the story involves various haunting and mysterious new people she met, and eventually she had to solve the problem surrounding the haunting, and on top of that she had to deal with her own personal problem that comes to find her. This movie has no stars that I recognized, which is too bad, but I don't really mind watching fresh faces either.
martyncymro Everything about it says a movie made by college kids. I am loath to do down anyone or anything and usually look for the positives in all situations, but having just seen this film I feel I should warn anyone considering watching it. Don't! Everything is bad. The plot can best be described as weak, the twist, more like a slight turn, can easily be guessed at. The acting is unconvincing and I'm sure in places they were waiting for cues. The directing is poor, in fact rather than waste your time having to read further - avoid this movie as everything is so poor. There was 'one' jump moment and the rest of it was sheer boredom. My advice is buy a tin of paint, stick a pencil in it and watch it dry. It'll be far more entertaining.
dougaldog2002 I'm sorry folks, but I only just managed to sit through 55 minutes of this turd of a movie.Leaden direction, poor editing, wooden acting and pretty much zero thrills or scares. The storyline, if you can call it that, is so full of holes it would make Swiss Cheese hang its head in shame.I'm not into gore, I much prefer psychological thriller/horror type movies so I thought that I'd enjoy this, turned out to be a total waste of 55 minutes of my life!If you're looking for a somewhat original and well executed North American "J" style horror then check out the Canadian film "They Wait". It's pretty good and well worth the rental fee.
