The ending kind of lets it down (Spoilers, obviously)


This is a very solid film (and I'll watch anything with Jennifer Connelly in it) but it definitely needs a stronger ending. The way Dahlia just kind of follows the ghost upstairs and finds the body in the water tank is anti-climactic after watching the whole mystery unfold. And there's no real buildup to the attack in the bathtub and the sacrificial death scene that follows it - in fact it kind of comes out of left field, and feels tacked on.

Oh, and just to be extra nitpicky - how can Dahlia be thirty years old if she was a little girl in 1974, and the film is set in 2005?

Other than those niggles, it's a mighty good flick.

I agree the ending was a little sloppy and weak for an otherwise great movie. When it was over, I actually said "That felt like an Asian movie" and sure enough. Great acting and a good mystery makes this certainly worth a watch.

It's based of an Asian movie
