I’m a big fan of Asian horror so was hoping for another treat with this. However, I was somewhat disappointed. Whilst many Asian films can be rather confusing at the start, this one remained confusing for the first half or so. It’s not until you understand what’s happened that you can back track and piece it all together. Now, I don’t need everything set out on a plate for me, but I just wasn’t getting any sense of where it was going which resulted in a steadily increasing lack of interest.

Anyway, I found SFLV rather slow and plodding and with no real satisfaction at the end. I know that many people will probably disagree with this review, but this is easily the most boring Asian horror that I’ve seen.
