Chow lok yuen (2003)
Do you believe in ghosts?
***Here there be spoilers!!!***
An amusement park is closed after a young girl falls to her death from the ferris wheel(which utilizes cages, not open chairs!), and then the owner commits suicide(not on-screen, though).
Years later, a young man who witnessed the death of the little girl decides to go back to the closed down amusement park, and goes missing. His sister decides she is going to find him, and gets a group of friends to come with her.
This is the point where the film is supposed to become scary, but what actually happens is that hilarity ensues. Think ghost film aimed at teeny-boppers, made in Asia, and you'll be able to figure out the movie.
Full of plot-holes(why are there seemingly limitless ghosts when we only know of two deaths besides the teens who investigate the park in the dark?) and cheesy (subtitled)dialogue("I believe in God, ET, and .... Michael Jackson!"), this is the place to look for something to grin and shake your head at. If you want to be frightened, however, look elsewhere.
As a horror movie, this would barely rate a 1.
As mindless entertainment, however, I rate this one a 7.
Recommended for fans of campy or B movies.
