Reception
According to John Li from MovieXclusive, the B grade film explores a range of intriguing themes, but ultimately becomes convoluted in its execution.[1]
AsianMovieWeb too was critical of the film.[2] Various Chinese sources commented on the presence of Leila Tong (aka Tang Nin) in the cast, for her first role in a ghost film.[3][4][5]
