3.0*/5.0*

This Taiwanese horror series isn't too bad, but there's not enough to set it apart from its peers. It's still relying on oldskool scares and clichés (even though it tries to subvert them from time to time), which keeps it from making a bigger impact. The execution is pretty solid though, so it's perfect if you're looking for some pre-Halloween filler.

The plot is simple and the scares are familiar. The performances aren't too great either, but there are some fun game scenes and some nice camera tricks to make the film more immersive. It doesn't try too hard to be anything but solid horror fodder, so as long as you know what you're getting yourself into, this isn't too bad.
