Like the ghost of a pretzel clock: this looked good but the innumerable WTFs, the predictable twists and the ridiculous time lines made this ghost story pale in comparison to other Asian horror.
Why does the school look so run down?
Not sure about this one. There are some issues with the execution as the idea could make for a good horror movie. Perhaps the makeup of what is depicted as '"ghosts'" is not really convincing, up to the point that for example the '"ghost'" in a scene moved and looked like a zombie instead. Missed opportunity.
It''s a good movie, good jump scaries and plot twist. It isn''t the best horror movie, but...
Better than expected, but still not necessarily good. Bit disappointing in payoff for the substantial scares. Plot was kind of interesting though, even if it isn''t deep.

Inspired by the urban legend of a haunted bridge at Tunghai University, this film blends myth and mystery through a modern horror lens, weaving a story of students who vanish during a live-streamed investigation. While the narrative delivers unexpected twists and uses a compelling non-linear timeline, minor inconsistencies in detailโsuch as sudden phone recoveries and missing stream indicatorsโdetract from the immersion. Still, with its eerie atmosphere and haunting premise, the film remains a solid pick for fans of supernatural lore and psychological unraveling.

The movie does so many things right, but fails in the immersion of found footage by having cinema shots spliced in with the handheld footage. Without that I may have given it a higher score, but as it is it's not a proper found footage film. It does introduce some originality with its curse and how it works, and also manages to include some of the general scares found naturally in found footage movies. It's no Noroi, Cult, or Occult, but it is nice to have found footage being created in other Asian countries. This helps to create new movies based on local traditions and folklore.
