I like this movie, despite the strong resemblance to "The Eye". Some nice spooooooky scene!

It was an enjoyable horror movie. There were a lot of cool ghost scenes, and the story was good as well. I found myself really drawn into the Hungry Ghost Month idea, though I don't know if this is a real thing or was just made up for the film.

I'd recommend this to just about anyone really, whether they're a horror fan or just a movie fan. It didn't seem to tap into cliche too much, and makes for a good mystery/thriller... not to mention a good plot twist near the end!

Cheers,

The ending was 'a tale of two sister'-ish
But it was good
Great that they used some real-life mythologic elements in it
the day after I saw this movie I asked the chinese girl in our school out about the seventh month
