🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director builds tension through contrast: the documentary-like clarity of investigation scenes abruptly shifts to blurred, almost surreal nightmare sequences. The camera often adopts a subjective perspective, making the viewer see through the confused protagonist's eyes.
A perfect pick for fans of Asian horror where psychological dread outweighs gore. The narrative keeps you guessing until the final frames, leaving room for personal interpretation. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Zhao Cong

On a rainy afternoon, with droplets streaming down the windowpane and the scent of old paper in the air.
