American tattoo artist Jake Sawyer wanders the world, exploring and exploiting ethnic themes in his tattoo designs.
At a tattoo expo in Singapore, he gets his first glimpse at the exotic world of traditional Samoan tattoo, and, in a thoughtless act, unwittingly unleashes a powerful angry spirit.
In his devastating journey into Pacific mysticism, Jake must find a way to save his new love, Sina, and recover his own soul...
This film has a lot going for it. Not only is it one of the more convincing films about vengeful demons, it's actually an original idea and not a remake of a Japanese ghost story, which is refreshing.
Sure, there are similarities to the Grudge and the Ring, but these days that cannot be helped. It's not that scary, and there are a few pointless characters, but the lead holds the film well, and the ending is more convincing, than the gore-fest i was predicting.
So if you are expecting a gore packed horror, look elsewhere, but if you want a movie that concentrates more on it's story rather than trying to make the audience jump, this is for you.
