A solid mix of horror and thriller elements. It lacked a nod to Anthony Wong for sure, but New Life takes itself rather seriously, so that probably wouldn't have been appropriate. If you're looking for a compact, indie-sized horror film that isn't too fantastical or outrageous, be sure to check it out.
The presentation is one point, the gore is properly gruesome though not abundant, and the performances are good. The pacing and runtime are also just perfect. But the film lacks any standout moments or truly memorable scenes. It's nice genre filler, at the same time, it's a bit too comfortable serving just genre material.
