Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. User A – ★★★½☆
   “An obscure 1989 Mainland Chinese horror film, an English translation for which isn’t available in any shape or form. It will certainly not be of much interest to the greater …”
2. User B – ★★★☆☆
   “One of the few and of the better Chinese horror movies. The plot revolves around the ghost of a murdered girl, who haunts a creepy, retro basement. A sound technician and an actress encounter her unhappy soul when they come to the film in the now cobweb-ridden, dilapidated building.”
