A team of paranormal investigators find a ghost trapped in an apartment complex and decide to capture it in order to see if the ghost will be able to remember details in it's life.
What did everyone think of this?

I liked this one a lot more then I thought I was gonna. It had a pretty original and cool storyline and was not as dull as I thought it was gonna be. Maybe a bit on the long side but never felt really that long.

So did I, but I thought it was long, especially since the last half is that retarded nonsense about the crippled investigator trying to find a way to live after death. I stopped giving a shit about the film at that point, and all those scenes were pretty stupid.
But before then it's all really good. The opening with the American ghostbuster is awesome, the science involving the little boxes is pretty cool, and when the ghost is out and about town, it's a lot of fun. I just wish that ending where changed.

Yeah same here. There were quite a few pointless scenes that brought the film down at times. I liked it. That car crash scene was so fake though lol. Overall good.

Yeah, I've certainly seen much worse Asian fare out there, but you'd think that a country with that much Action movie history behind it would know how to film a sequence like that. It was moronic and stupid and am glad you felt the same way.

I know GL. I was kinda cringing that they even allowed that scene. 0_o

An Asian country filming a car-crash sequence? What's there to screw up? That should be one of the easiest parts of the movie to film, and it ended up looking like that? Seems like a stupid thing to hold against a film, but that's a part of their history right there in making movies. It's almost like a Hong Kong film doing a lame wife-fu fight: it's impossible to think it could happen because you know they've done it so many times it should be like second-nature to do one.

I know it does seem like a small thing to complain about..but everytime I think of this film I think of that car crash. And if that is the first thing you think of when talking about it.....that's not a good thing at all. I would never watch this one again. But for one viewing it holds.

I wouldn't mind doing it again, because I want to understand the science behind that box they claimed was able to contain the ghost's energy. I was jotting down notes during that bit, and since it was in Cantonese/Mandarin, I didn't understand it so I want a refresher course on that bit.
