Based on true events and long-circulating urban legend in Taiwan. Wei is nowhere to be found one day, before his grandma returns from her own strange missing incident.

This was kinda creepy. 

When a Taipei CEO freezes to death on one of the hottest days of the year, and a politician's mistress is burnt to death in a room with no trace of fire, FBI agent Kevin Richter, an expert in criminal profiling, is called in to team up with Huang Huo-Tu, a local cop who is ostracized by his colleagues after he exposed corruption on the force, to hunt down what may be a serial killer, a ghost, or something else. 

This had a small dose of horror and a larger dose of mystery and suspense.

My conclusion: Horror movies have weird endings.

Aiming to harness the energy found in some supernatural spirits, scientist Hashimoto (Yosuke Eguchi) and colleagues catch the ghost of a young boy. Hashimoto plans to use the energy to fuel an anti-gravity device he has invented. But, in order to tap into the ghost's essence, he must understand the silent words coming from its mouth. The scientists call in police officer Tung (Chen Chang), who can read lips, but, as they learn that the boy was murdered, the experiment goes in a scary direction. 

I was pleasantly surprised to see Bolin Chen and Barbie Hsu here. They were so young. 

The story and concept were interesting and, luckily for me, not very scary. So if you are like me, you could give it a try.
