By Jody. Score: 7/10A serial killer massacres eleven people in a hotel. 18 years later, the ghosts of the victims haunt the set of a film production of those events. One of the cast members is the reincarnation of the murderer.
This movie comes from the director of both the American and Japanese verisons of "The Grudge 1 and 2" and is leaps and bounds better than any of those.
This movie has some of the creepiest imagery (with fantastic doll effects, old-school style - not CGI) of the After Dark Horrorfest I movies and is arguably the best from that set.
The only downside was I often struggled with being able to tell who is who. No, I'm not trying to be racist, but the film switches between present and flashes of the past, and well, the female characters do look very similar. I had to result to identifying them by their clothes. (One character wears a shirt that reads "Vanilla Fudge", so she was easier to keep track of).
This movie is a great horror movie all around and the best Asian ghost movie I've seen.
