Director:Wei-Hao ChengWriters:Shih-Keng ChienStars:Wei-Ning Hsu, River Huang, Yin-Shang LiuSummary: Based on true events and long-circulating urban legend in Taiwan. Wei is nowhere to be found one day before his grandma returns from her own strange missing incident. Wei's girlfriend desperately searches for his whereabouts and finds that it is the horrifying mystery of the little girl in red that has followed and haunted them all along.
“Director Cheng Wei-hao and writer Jian Shi-geng have taken a popular Taiwanese urban legend – a small, spectral child dressed in red who follows forest visitors and steals their souls – and shaped it into a chilling tale of grief and ghosts. Numerous jolts and effective emotional beats share the screen with a steadily building atmosphere as the characters descend deeper into the nightmare.” – Film School Rejects
“Give this a chance if you’re into these kinds of Asian ghost stories or curious about the film’s success, while those looking for more demanding fare or not as interested in that format should heed caution.” – Asian Movie Pulse
