When a young woman moves into a traditional Chinese woman's house to be her new housekeeper, the accidental desecration of a sacred ceremony to appease the restless spirits around her unleashes a torrent of supernatural visions and attacks which she has to struggle against in order to stop their malicious behavior.This was a surprisingly above-average take on the genre, much better than expected and certainly got a lot out of it. What really works well for this one is the insane atmosphere throughout here from the multitude of utterly freaky and chilling ghostly encounters. The type of set-up here allows for some really enjoyable parts with plenty of intense scenes throughout here which makes this one such an unrelenting pace, which starts with the opening here. The opening, which is the interrupted ceremony of appeasement, is a total accident as the sweeping away of the initial offering could've happened and the resulting ghostly interactions grabbing her and later confronting her by herself with plenty of ghostly swarms of tentacles comes off incredibly well as a chilling encounter, and when followed up with the skeleton sequence in the kitchen makes for a truly enjoyable time. The second encounter, where she finds the secret room all completely decorated with the lavish ceremonial trinkets before seeing the ghost approaching in the ethereal light with the howling voices in wonderfully atmospheric, a great sequence where they appear to torment her in the laundry room and a fantastic sequence where she awakens from a dream and comes along the series of ethereal lights and voices all come off really well with tons of enjoyable atmospheric action, plenty of ghostly confrontations to move this along. As well, the attacks in the closet and down in the basement all come along into a really exciting series of creepy, enjoyable action confrontations. This one also manages to get some good points in how this builds up the great story here by not only covering the actual holiday and its traditions but also in dealing with the back- story of how she came to be afflicted which is really well-executed and believable here. These here are more than enough to hold this up against the few flaws on display. The main thing against this one is the rather disappointing nature about the ghosts here where they don't really do much in the film on many occasions here, either by getting so little screen-time or generating little damage once they do. This one's reliance on atmosphere and teasing her in the confrontations instead of going after her to torment her doesn't give this any kind of activity for the ghosts to be out killing randomly and generating the kind of action for those set-ups in here. As well, the film's other problem is the inclusion of a really lame and absolutely needless subplot about a spurred boyfriend interacting with the family that really goes nowhere and features some rather lame scenes designed to showcase this which really tends to halt this one quite often to get this in. Otherwise, this one was quite fun.Rated R: Graphic Language and Violence.

Why is Horror and Genre movies being handled by people like the detrimental Charles Band, or The Asylum! And why despite all these amazing bad reviews and comments (you figure i have never met anyone who could even merely stand one of these!), people asking for their money back and so on, why this demented, disrespectful crap is still being made? Why? I don't know, it is just so not right, especially since being a huge fan of B movies, cult's and Horrors, I am always having fun whenever there's at least an attempt in making something decent! But, here, there's no respect, there's no boundaries, most of all, there's no movie! Charles Band and the people at the Asylum are guilty up to an extent though! I personally would call them scam artists, con artists and not filmmakers, but, who's even worse than them is the Distributors buying this crap, instead of a lot more deserving movies I often see at some Genre's Film Festivals and that rarely get released, or if they do, they even get less space and attention of these atrocious boring non movies! Abortions my mother called them, and so referring to something she obviously not only despise, but, also avoids! Why haven't I? Oh, believe me people! I am not into pain or sadomasochistic activities at all! I will, from now on! And, like the plague! And, also because crap like this is an offense to the culture of our Country (hey.. and that's already saying something, right there ha ha!) but, I had, before, refuse myself i was so rightly so doing for quite a while, just based on other people's comments or on dear friends suggestions! Well now, there's one more motive! Wanted to be fair and had to go through (I honestly ever made it to a three quarters, but, should be getting kudos, because of that!) to a few Charles Band's productions, finding them some of the worst scam, especially, certain homo erotic's movies he produces, with some director, David De Coteau! Man, that stuff wasn't just bad and boring, cheap and cheesy, that stuff was sick,morbid! YUK! Ewwwwww Young guys in speedo's (those two should be ashamed of themselves) exploited while making out for virtually 100 minutes! That's disgusting! And i am not homophobic at all, but, that was just plain insulting and disturbing, way more than some good erotic flick! This does not have those, but, just has amateurish everything and bore to no END! People, let's strike against these frauds! LET'S STOP BUYING or RENT ANY OF THESE MOVIES! BE WARNED: Either Charles Band (FULL MOON Ent.) or THE ASYLUM's logo on the DVD mean that you're never gonna watch anything good, but actually, either, an AMATEURISH BORE or a vulgar rip off of someone else's film, most likely, actually, certainly, made for cheap, featuring some of the worst acting ever seen worldwide (by the way, WHO CAST THESE NON MOVIES??? WHO? I would wanna see them on their faces!) and, most of all, remember you are spending money into something you may save, and, just watch instead (and for free) some really fresh and cool internet TV Series on you tube! You'd be surprised how EVEN THOSE, if next to such deplorable fare like this one here, or other products coming from those 2 awfully corrupted Brands, may be feeling COOL, FRESH, and even professionally shot, at times! Not too much to ask, uh?

Just watched this movie and was pleasantly surprised by the twist and turn of the story. I was growing sick of Hollywood horror films with all the gore and violence and I didn't feel like watching those kinds of movies, so this movie didn't fit any of the above category and just was what I wanted to see. The story follows a young woman who was looking for a job to escape her life and found one in a remote place. The rest of the story involves various haunting and mysterious new people she met, and eventually she had to solve the problem surrounding the haunting, and on top of that she had to deal with her own personal problem that comes to find her. This movie has no stars that I recognized, which is too bad, but I don't really mind watching fresh faces either.

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.
