Curse of Lola poster

Phantom of the Opera with a Chinese twist. Curse of Lola is a stylish, moody little chiller, but it lacks stronger horror elements to survive multiple viewings. Even when I didn't remember much of the plot, there wasn't quite enough here to keep me entranced for the entire runtime.

It's better than your run-of-the-mill horror flick though. The performances are good and the cinematography is stylish. The score is moody too, the runtime is perfect and even though the ending gets a bit too dramatic, the finale is still fitting. A few more memorable moments and this could've been a genre gem, but it's still worth a try if you love Asian horror cinema.
