Troublesome Night 13: Flower Ghost (2002)

Okay, let me start by saying that I have not seen any of the previous 12 Troublesome Night films, nor have I seen any of the at least 6 others that follow it. I have no idea if characters carry over or if the stories are all self contained, (then again after a quick look at the other entries it would seem that Mrs Bud does carry over). All I know is that this story of a a group of friends getting mixed up with the ghost of a girl raped and murdered by her boss isn't a bad movie, but then again it isn't a great one either. The problem for me was that there seems to be a short hand that the film makers have used to set everything in motion.Clearly there is a formula that the series has and the film makers use short cuts to get yo right into the thick of things. This would be fine if I had seen some other entries but for me coming in films in I was left feeling somewhat out of the loop. I liked it for what it was and it does make me want to see other entries in the seres, but I in all honestly I'm going to have to see how it plays out on a second viewing. As a stand alone film its an okay little film that would be better when seen with out other choices, say on a long flight somewhere.
