Pretty good soundtrack

Anyone got any chance which songs does the Pang Brother's borrow the music from? I am sure it is borrowed from one of the western composers, in the east they won't make such haunting piece of music to a film, especially a horror film. I do really hope they have the soundtrack released.

Well, during the scene when she is handing out flowers to the forgotten dead, the song is an adaptation of Bach's Ave Maria. I do not remember recognising anything else when I watched it...

You're not alone. I had the same impression. Very strange.

I didn't see this mentioned in the credits, but I'm pretty sure the song on guitar used in the final scene between Tingyin and Tingyu, and during the second half of the credits, is a folk song from Shanbei originally titled "Ya pan shang kai hua" ("Flowers blooming on the side of a cliff"). The melody has also been remade as "Zhidao bu zhidao" ("Did you know?") by Han Baoyi, Rene Liu, and others (with various different lyrics).

Do you seriously think that Asians don't make haunting music for films!!??

How many Asian films have you seen? Seriously!
