The Mei Ah edition starts with a distributor credit, which then continues in the background like a watermark for the entire duration of the film.

Mei Ah presents the movie in it's original aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and while Mei Ah isn't known for their stellar track record, I was very disappointed. What brings the transfer down is the large amounts of white specks and vertical lines on the print. Many scenes play out in dark settings and the specks are really distracting. The print has pretty good colours and has decent sharpness at times but I know that Mei Ah can do better than this.

We get sound options in cantonese and mandarin along with Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 tracks for both languages. The original cantonese track sounded good to me with music spread out nicely across the front speakers. The surrounds were used to good effect also in the more creepy scenes.

The english subtitles are actually pretty good. The font used is easy to read and there were not a lot of spelling or apparent grammatical errors. The other subtitles available are traditional chinese, simplified chinese, korean, malaysian, japanese, viet- namese, indonesian and thai.

The usual crappy Mai Ah extras turn up here. In the Data Bank there's a plot synopsis (which for once doesn't reveal the whole movie) and a cast & crew listing. The trailers for this movie and Wilson Yip's Bullets Over Summer rounds off the disc.
