ONce a year, for thirty days the gates of Hell open and the hungry and the angry spirits walk again in Singapore. Now Rosa comes from the Philippines to an arranged housekeeping job to replace the missing Ester, the previous housekeeper, who seems to have vanished, only to find weird and strange things happening at the household. I love ghost stories and I love horror movies, and this one is both. The movie is completely helped by the beautiful Alessandra de Rossi, whose looks are downtuned some to play the poor impoverished Rosa. Also good is Huifang Hong who is both beautiful, and the driving force behind the strange happenings, as she only wants what is best for her son (Benny Soh), who is a huge muscular man who is both childlike and retarded, something which leads to some really difficult times when he forgets himself. The rest of the characters are all pretty unimpressive, although nobody embarrasses themselves. All-in-all, a great watch of a movie that I never would have seen if it weren't for the internet, where I saw it. . This is a movie that I will have to watch again. I love ghost stories, and I didn't guess the twist until I had my nose rubbed in it. Now that I know what this movie's twist is, I can now watch this movie again with a fresh perspective.
