The ghost of a young boy haunts a Taipei apartment block in Better Than Sex director Su Chao-pin's urban spook story. Hashimoto (Yosuke Eguchi) is a paranormal investigator who uses an anti-gravitational device called the Menger Sponge to trap wayward spirits. Upon exploring a haunted Taipei apartment complex, Hashimoto and his crew capture the specter of a young boy who apparently perished under mysterious circumstances. When Hashimoto brings local policeman Yi Chi-tung in to help identify the boy, jealous ghost hunter Su Yuen (Barbie Hsu) makes a tragic attempt to steal the ghost that leaves Yi free to release and follow the spirit.

One of the few, but also one of the best Sci-Fi films to come out of Asia. If you liked the movie "Event Horizon", then you might like this movie as they similarly combine horror and Sci-Fi. At no point did it seem possible to guess how the movie was going to end. The acting, directing, cinematography and special effects were excellent. Even though the movie apparently had a limited budget, the final product was impressively well done. The subtitles suffered from minor grammatical errors, but not enough to distract the viewer from the story. The only letdown was the lack of surround sound. Despite the 5.1 DTS audio option, the audio was in stereo. As for extras, there's a "Making of Silk" feature (32:47 min), an "Alternate Ending" feature (2:51 min), a "Deleted Scenes" feature (11:16 min), an "Outtakes" feature (3:18 min) showing the dozens of takes required to complete a single scene, a theatrical trailer for the movie and trailers for six other Tartan movies. Definitely recommended.

Its a ghost story in the middle of a scifi movie.. Truly unique. Were horror fans. There isn't any real jump out of your seat scenes, but still a great movie. If your tired of the same ole cookie cutter horror films....
