After a cornea transplant heals her long standing blindness, a young woman sees visions of the dead that lead her into the tragic future. Or is it the past?
Good ghost concept diluted by melodrama. Asian horror is so neat with its plot hinges as layers of deception are unfolded, and often it's grim and spooky. Here we have the usual scenario where a sensitive innocent is burdened with the task of uncovering an old injustice. Plenty of character - but too much dialogue, too much romance, as the story bobs about on a slack current.
The pace tightens up at the end, only to deliver a false climax followed by an overblown emergency. Music is big, sometimes interesting before descending into plink-plonk piano. The photography messes with the concept of blindness, but fails to create a visual world and relies too much on ramshackle CGI.
The performances are OK, and the heroine's mother and the boy with the tumour had good parts. No memorable lines, although it was interesting to see English briefly used in a HK/Thai crossover.
Overall, I guess the problem is with the directors/producers, who seem to have bought a good story then splashed it with marketing gunk.
