WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING

“A rare combination of horror beats and emotionally affecting turns.”- Rob Hunter, Film School Rejects

“The film is well-directed, well acted, entails a good production and enough elements to make it stand out, and that is where its true value lies.”- HanCinema

“Like most great ghost stories, there's a lot to like here with the general build-up of the story into far greater and more dangerous threats. The element of grief present in the backstory to this one drops a great sense of atmospheric grounding…”- Asian Movie Pulse
