The best work of the Peng brothers

I have always preferred Hong Kong horror films, more than Japanese and Korean series, and even the emerging Thai series.

The main reason is that Hong Kong-style horror films are stories with cause and effect, not as mindless as Japanese and Korean horror films, such as the classic "The Grudge".

The setting of this film is still very funny. The heroine who was originally blind regained her light after receiving a retinal transplant. But then I found that I seemed to be cursed, I could see ghosts, and I couldn't even see myself in the mirror, but another woman.

In order to save her life, the heroine had to find out the truth and find out who the owner of these eyes is.

If the previous story is relatively ordinary, I think the latter ending is a highlight. Compared with ghosts, people are sometimes more scary, aren't they?

Li Xinjie's performance is very good, adding one star to her, it can be said that she supported the whole film.

    Li Xinjie's performance is perfect, and the plot reversal is the biggest highlight of the film. The first half of the elevator and the scene of myopic ghosts are so classic that they have been used for reference in similar movies later. The problem is that after the reversal, the last third seems to be a different movie? The death and grievances of Thai women are not enough to move people, in other words, they cannot be believed. Isn't it really plagiarizing "Death is Coming" in the last step to get out of the car to save people? In addition, the male protagonist is very rude, the doctor is very uniform, and the image of the ghost is not stable enough. It will be a creepy oriental ghost for a while, and then it will become a wandering ghost floating around, and the sense of terror is greatly reduced! The last expression is also very puzzling? ? ? I hope to be able to give people a little more thought like "Ghost Call" or "Alien Dimension".

    A literary film in a horror film... But it can be seen that the director's purpose is not to be scary. Strictly fit, the last fire scene was really good, and I was a little moved when I saw the ghosts walking through the disaster streets as usual. And Li Xinjie is tender, and any shot is a film photo.
