Warning: Spoilers
While watching this your eye will wander and you will notice a repeating pattern of shades. Black. White. Brown. Red. Over and over you will see these colours painted over the screen, bringing this movie to life. Frankly thats the most I recall of this film. A fun movie to watch with friends on a rainy night, but we ended up spending half the movie going "Huh?". Trust me when I say I'm an Asian horror pro and this wasn't scary. There was, maybe, one scene where you would jolt but this movie wasn't to frighten you but make you think. A talk about a strange adopted boy being cast out by his ever-growing-apart parents. And he really takes the term Tree Hugger to the max. This boy loves his tree. It's sick...Dying...and the boy is desperate to make it healthy again. It's it best friend. Lots of turns in later half, and finally when it's over it takes a few minutes of discussion to fully understand everything. Overall, its enjoyable, but not scary. Good for people who love Asian flicks and no gore.
