Enjoyed this a great deal. A Taiwanese horror/ghost story, centered around a down-on-his-luck Taipei taxi driver and his wider family. While at times quite creepy and scary, it's far more than just a horror or ghost story, and Chang Yu-Ko manages to weave in a lot of history - especially the Japanese occupation -, folk tales and customs of the indigenous people of Taiwan (in this case mostly the Bunun), and some of the abuse these people suffer to this day.
