Definitely something worth checking out if you're an adult who loves horror

I've seen many horror films before, but nothing quite like this before!

To be honest with you, at first I thought this was a trailer for a full-length movie. Just like in "The Story of 90 Coins," the pacing of this tale was incredibly quick. The audience was given the exact amount of information we needed to know what was going on and nothing more.

Mr. Wong is a director I've discovered pretty recently, and I've become a big fan of the way he weaves scenes together. He expects his audience to pay attention and do a little bit of work putting the pieces of the plot together. Those are both good things in my opinion, and I'm looking forward to seeing what he might come up with next.

The background music was surprisingly cheerful and the exact opposite of what I would generally expect to hear while watching this genre. It provided a nice contrast to the truly frightening things happening to the characters, especially since the audience was given so much leeway in coming up with our own theories about why such happy music was chosen for this tale.

I should warn you that this is a dark and gory story. Don't be fooled by the short run time. Every single second is important, and many of those moments contain images of people being seriously harmed. This is only something I'd recommend for mature viewers, but it is definitely something worth checking out if you're an adult who loves horror.
