Vapid WIP film with Amy Yip's marketable breasts

I'm afraid I don't have much patience for scriptless crap like this. It's so obvious that the producers thought throwing busty Amy Yip into a prison of relatively gorgeous women and adding a ghost plot was all they needed to get punters stampeding their way to the box office. Unfortunately, despite the appeal of another WIP (Women in Prison) film, this is so slow and stupid. The camera-work is inept, the special effects are goofy, and, though Yip is a tasty treat, she doesn't do much remotely erotic, anyway. With the exception of quality ghost films like "Encounters of the Spooky Kind" or "The Dead and the Deadly", these tryhard supernatural ventures bore me to tears. I suffered through this mess at a cinema. Only the film it played with, "A Bloody Fright", was worse.
