A mad woman living on the island had died at the exact hour of 23:59, and it is believed that her spirit had returned to haunt the soldiers at the exact same time.

He tries to convince his buddy Jeremy that the woman's spirit has been visiting him every night. Jeremy laughs it off and claims that there are no such things as ghosts in this world.

User Reviews

A good change.

A good change from Singaporian production house .. but some how or rather the Singaporian English is just too obvious. You can spot it by hearing closely that the slang when the actor speaks in the dialog.

The ghost is just based on stories or more like folklore tell tail. the plot build up is not that strong and there are many loose ends that is just not explainable. perhaps asking the audience to guess.

but overall its a brave approach by the director to move to new genre of movie. Singapore normally is known for drama or light comedy and to present the audience with a ghost story now that what i call changes.
