🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative through three distinct yet thematically linked tales, relying on Chinese folklore about vengeful spirits. It explores themes of fate, punishment, and obsession with a visual style that blends the erotic and the macabre.

What lingers after viewing is a mosaic of surreal imagery and moral fables, where each story cultivates a sense of unsettling ambiguity. The line between madness and the supernatural remains provocatively blurred. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Li Han-Hsiang
