When Rain, a beautiful university year 4 student receives an SMS on her mobile phone - "Do you know what the 19th Gate of hell is?", the nightmare begins for her. It is not too long before she realizes that she is unwittingly trapped in a terrifying mobile phone game from hell and this game is larger than life, because if you lose, you die! As the same cryptic SMS message goes out to other students on campus, Rain is extremely frightened to see the game players, including Rain's best friends, becoming "Game over!" at different stages of the game. To survive, Rain tries her best to reach the final stage - the 19th Gate of hell, but she can never expect that the ending of the game is to fall in love with the devil inevitably. ~~ Adapted from the novel "The Nineteenth Floor of Hell" (地狱的第十九层) by Cai Jun (蔡骏).

Movie Review

This movie uses a lot of camera work and close up to give a sense of eerie. Close by the victims as if we are the perpetrators yet we have no clue if we are. Honestly I didn’t really understand the idea of the movie.

19 levels of hell yet the main character only went through 6 levels because of the GM’s (game master’s) bias. Honestly I did enjoy the realism of the illusion: Gao Yuen. How the main character can just interact with him and we also had no clue he was an illusion. It felt so real to her that there were no sense that it was all fake. Even the room was the same.

The movie uses silence to create an eerie atmosphere as well as whistles and sounds that we tend to associate with fear and horror. Whistling, echos, abupt noises; many of these sounds are used and the character’s own breath caused me to feel like the characters were right in front of me.

Personally the acting was a little bad because I could see the actress trying to give that sadness act but honestly she just looks like she is in a romance movie, crying over a misunderstanding. Her lips remain juicy plump and she cries so gracefully. I did enjoy the movie despite that since it wasn’t really much to take notice of. Maybe because this is a 13 year old movie, I feel like the script isn’t polished and there is many weird things that I don’t think were counted for; The character development or the fully polished background story of how Dr. Yan got the idea to make a hypnotizing hell game. But enjoy it for its camera work sometimes. The closeup and Gao Yuen actor was really handsome. That’s about it :P
