CGiii Comment
Read the blurb...if that doesn't put you off...
Watch the opening scenes...a ghostly boy in a wedding dress...muttering: Give me back my life...followed by some frantic acting in and around a rather lovely house.
Now, if you have decided to continue watching...well, heaven help you.
The bathroom scene - being the final nail in the coffin - will have you lunging for the remote...
On a brighter note...the camera-work is pretty good. But, the story and the acting...howlingly bad.
Seriously, if you want to have a heart attack caused by hysteria...this is the film for you.

Is it to seek revenge for his death? -- Mrs. Yen’s dream is a consequence of the relationship between her biological son and her adopted son. When they announced their love to the family, Mrs. Yen was devastated. She could not accept it and her efforts to keep them apart may have driven Hung to his death. In Vietnam, as elsewhere, parents are sure they know what’s best for their children. But the spirits may not be convinced...
