Secrets in the Hot Spring (2018)

This movie is definitely more of a comedy than a horror because I was laughing from beginning to end. The story has us follow Qie Xiaojin, a transfer student who at first glance is your stereotypical no good student. His fist was always faster than his brain. And his words were rougher than what he really thought. Yet, his thug-like behavior couldn't shake two parasites off him: Little Princess and Lu Qun. It is hilarious how they latched onto him after he accidentally saved them once from school bullying. Although he carefully tried to mind his own business after that, they wouldn't let him be. They went as far as following him to his grandparents' haunted hot spring hotel. And it was at the hotel, Xiaojin truly appreciated the strength in numbers. Seeing all three of them huddled together as they checked each room for ghost had me doing belly laughs. While the movie take away may be, " nobody is what they seem," seeing Xiaojin, Little Princess and Lu Qun's transformative friendship definitely put a smile on my face.
