Warning: Spoilers
This listing is confusing. Amazon has merged reviews for two separate films. Some reviews are not for this film but another special effects film by the same name. The film this review is for is the New Zealand film.

Jason (Yoson An) is a young Chinese immigrant raised in New Zealand. His father has passed on and his mother (Catheryn Wu) clings to the old ways. His mother arranges a marriage with a match maker/fortune teller (Geeling Ng- David Bowe's "Little China Girl" in video). She matches him up with May-Ling (Fiona Feng) who looks like a porcelain doll. The problem is that Jason has a Barbie Doll girlfriend in Skye (Rebekah Palmer).

The theme is stated that a woman who dies unwed, doesn't have a husband in the afterlife which is a bad thing. You quickly discover that May-Ling isn't exactly alive, although her ghost can interact like a live person from time to time.

The film is refreshing that it breaks from the normal film formula. While I praise the film for its differences, the horror aspect was light. IMDB list the film as a fantasy/thriller which is more accurate.

Parental Guidance: No bad language. No sex. Shower butt nudity (Rebekah Palmer).
