3.0*/5.0*

Part 3 in this popular Taiwanese horror franchise. I still haven't seen the first film, but that's hardly a bother. The plot is pretty simple, the setup hasn't changed all that much either. This is a pretty basic Asian horror flick centered around ghosts, if you've seen a couple of them you probably know the drill.

Guan Yu comes from a family of Tao masters but doesn't want to continue this legacy. Instead, he dreams of being a parcours influencer. When a woman visits his temple, his life is about to change. In one of his videos, his followers find proof of a ghost. Yu's friend thinks it's a good way to grow his audience.

The handycam aesthetic coupled with proper Taiwanese photography makes for a fine mix, that's about the only thing that sets this film apart from the rest though. It's not bad when you're in the mood for Asian horror, but it's not a film that will leave a strong impression. Decent horror filler.
