After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

This attempt at making a motion picture is rubbish, fails on all points. For one thing , I couldn't always understand what the "actors" were saying because their accents in English are atrocious (and no subtitles on my DVD). Stay away from this garbage unless you want to torture yourself with meaningless drawn-out scenes and ridiculous scripting, The 1 out of 10 is my maximum. This is an INFURIATING film. I waited for something significant, but it never did, and there was zero resolution at the end. RUN AWAY from this flick !

A group of film students in Singapore need to make a film. They discover if they burn a camera in a particular pit, a film will be there the following day. The film is a ghost story of some kind and admittedly it was better than the kids could make, so just go with it. They burn more cameras as this becomes an anthology with their own story tying it all together.The short stories were interesting, most with a twist. I thought the lady finger tale was too long. Asian style Creepshow. Soft 4 stars.Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

If you are looking for something a little different, this is a well done Malaysian movie. Main characters offer something to the spirits and surprisingly get something back...that is the general plot summed up but it is far deeper than that and exceptionally well done. They offer a camera and get a creepy movie in return.Not "scary" if you are looking for something that is full of heart pounding edge of your seat moments, but there are a few here and it is generally "creepy" and conceptually and psychologically it is quite a good thriller.Generally a good pace and you are kept going through the whole movie with many good twist and turns right up until the end.The acting is pretty good and the plot is good and it is something that I have not seen before and I watch a LOT of horror. I put this on the top of the genre and really enjoyed it and highly recommend it to people looking for something enjoyable to watch.

This was a cool horror flick that takes place during the Hungry Ghost Festival were you place money or an item (usually a picture on paper or fake hell money) as an offering to the deceased, in a bowl, then burnt to be used in the afterlife. Some film students discover one bowl produces films from the ashes the next morning, every time they burn a camera or a facsimile of one. Each time it is in a different format and each time the film is more horrific than the last.I thought this was a unique way of slapping together an anthology film and having it all link together for a film within a film. Kudos to the writers. The effects are awesome in this as well. I was surprised that the acting wasn't cheesy. If you get a chance watch this one. All the stories were entertaining.
