A Vietnamese romance horror; A story of an orphaned country girl who works as a housekeeper on a haunted former rubber plantation estate in 1953 Vietnam. This gothic tale attempts too much in its telling - ghost story, zombie horror, erotic thriller, slave trade tale, period drama with burgeoning romance. With so many secrets spilling out in the finale of this supernatural horror there is a feeling that the viewer has been tricked rather then coaxed with subtle explanation.
