A young editor's (Tony Leung) infatuation with Sin Lau, a 1940's authoress, compels him to occupy her old house. His sleepy-eyed wife (Wu Chien Lian, who looks great) strings along in hopes of patching their marriage together -- but it seems she's being periodically possessed by the dead writer's spirit. Or is it a ploy to win over her husband? Or is she going crazy? A slow, creepy occult thriller filmed to make the night scenes almost glow.

(2.5/4)
