Synopsis

Writer/Director Danny Draven takes the helm for this supernaturally driven shocker about an unassuming housekeeper drawn into a terrifying world of vengeful apparitions. According to the Chinese calendar, the seventh month of every year marks the time when the restless spirits of the dead break free from the gates of hell to mix among the mortals. During this time, specific rules must be followed to avoid falling prey to the spirits of the damned. When a solitude-seeking housekeeper arrives at the desert home of a superstitious Chinese woman and her devoutly religious aunt, death senses an opportunity to extend its grip into the mortal realm.

Alex Zier Minor spoilers in this review. Nothing terrible just a few character trait leaks here and there. I haven't watched the entire thing.. but it's just so terrible!! The scenery is mediocre except maybe the home and there's so many things that just pop up and aren't explained. Not to mention that there's religious ignorance. I can't stand people calling other religions weired!! Anyways I'm moving on to the characters. I didn't really LIKE too many. Maybe Ms. Wu and her aunt but other than that, the main characters sucked. The new housekeeper I really wanted something bad to happen to her for almost everything she did. And then there's the overly attached ex who was kinda sorta REALLY POINTLESS from what I saw. But I give them credit for getting the Chinese beliefs at least decently right. That at least gets it an extra star from me. But the huge problem I have is it isn't scary. I mean I jumped here and there but that's primarily because I jump a little easily. There wasn't anything that actually scared me. So main point is.. movie is bad.
dalekwhovian The movie moves a little slow in the beginning, but it leads up to a climax full of unseen twists and turns. The movie is definitely influenced by Asian horror, but HARDLY A REMAKE OF ANYTHING! I can tell the filmmakers are fans of J-horror, but this really isn't a horror film, more of a thriller.Also, the extra features were very interesting on how they made the movie on such a low budget. It's worth a look if you like character-driven Ghost Stories, but if you're looking for lots of blood and guts, this isn't for you.The DVD had a cast commentary, blooper reel, an interview with the director, and a making of featurette. I really enjoyed the making of.
hinesgtrservice This is a straight rip off the Asian horror film "The Maid" with a few minor differences and a whole lot more plot holes. The filmmakers here didn't even bother to acknowledge that fact. These people should really be sued. Do I really have to go through the motions to convince you that this isn't worth watching? Watch "The Maid"; even though that film wasn't great, it actually passed for a movie with real actors and a real crew. This is among the top worst films I have ever seen. Lazily slapped together, unapologetically stolen ideas, plot holes the size of a Buick. There's no redeeming quality here. I know we all like to watch bad horror movies now and again, but generally those supply some source of entertainment whether it be a cheap scare or a few laughs. This has neither. Sue these people.
Mat A horror set in modern day America based on ancient Chinese beliefs seemed like the formula for a good movie, but how wrong can you be. The premise is as good as the movie gets, with its cheesy b movie stereotypes, and Japanese horror rip offs.The only horror here, is the fact that someone had bad enough judgement to release this atrocious waste of time.This doesn't fall into the "so bad it's good" category: it falls into the "so bad its unwatchable" group.Every character is a tedious overplayed stereotype - every piece of make up is straight out of the J horror handbook. Even the badly used and heavy handed musical score is lame and intrusive rather than .If this movie has any saving grace, it's the fact that it's most unlikely to spawn a sequel.
