One evening,
a student is strolling alone on campus when she sees a girl in school
uniform walking in front of her. She calls out. But the girl has the face
of an old woman and disappears. This is the beginning of numerous strange
events that seem to involve the school's fuzzy history. In ancient times,
a mysterious series of murders dealing with wild dogs occurred at Peace
Hotel [which was located where the university is today] and a curse spread
to anyone who might enter the establishment. Now, the past has mingled
with the present and the university is infected with a deadly hex.
Forever youthful Zhao
Yi-Huan was born in Jilin China, October 1987. She graduated from the
Shanghai University Xiejin (Film Arts) in 2010 and was quickly signed
to star in advertisements for Coca-Cola and Dairy Queen on the mainland.
A TV series called Big Bang Explosion (based loosely on USA's
Big Bang Theory) brought her instant fame which was secured
by numerous hit films, including this one.
With this project,
director David Kuan continues to challenge the government's censorship
of horror movies which include "Spirit possession, reincarnation,
witchcraft." His first film, DEATH
IS HERE, experienced some distribution challenges but eventually
survived after studio countermeasures against the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
This movie - probably due to distribution through the Hong Kong rather
than Beijing - has managed to fly under the radar.
