I have never watched a Chinese Ghost Story. I've seen reviews from people who compare the two. If you want to read a comparison then sorry this is not the review. With this in mind let's get started.

STORY:
I wasn't expecting much due to the cliché sounding title but after watching the intro I WAS HOOKED. The story was beautiful! I didn't cry but I did have mini rants here and there. I like how you were able to see the negative and positive attributes within each character. Usually when I was movies like this they hype up the negative traits or they hype the positive traits. I like how these characters had a balance. The characters seemed more relatable and human.

CAST AND ACTING:
I didn't know any of the actors/actresses in this movie but they had a nice chemistry. Nothing seemed forced.

MUSIC:
In my opinion, music is a pass or fail. Pass means I remember the songs. Fail meaning they will never be stored in my long term memory. With that being said, the music FAILED!

REWATCH VALUE:
I see myself watching it again but it wouldn't be often. This is movie is great but if you watch it a lot it'll get stale and boring.
