I thought the movie was creepy and very unsettling. Like many Asian horror movies, the director had excellent command of the medium--great lighting, moodiness and effects.
Toward the end, as the story was unraveling, I thought it was all coming together beautifully: the infection as a sort of huge guilt trip, spread through the subconscious of those responsible for covering up the accidental death of that one patient. Then, a whole new twist and storyline seemed to crop up out of nowhere--and unnecessarily so--that completely muddled the movie for me, an annoying trait of a lot of these Asian horror films. I just wished the director could have left well enough alone. It sort of turned a visually stunning psychological horror piece into a convoluted mess--fun to watch though...
