About This Movie

Chiu, this ambitious character, makes a pact with Devil Gao that’s both intriguing and terrifying. The supernatural card magic adds a layer of suspense, but it’s really about the toll it takes on Chiu.

Performances are a bit uneven, but they lend a raw quality to the film that feels genuine.
