The crew learned diving skills for two months before shooting began. The film also set the record for the number of underwater scenes shot for a Chinese film. Tsui sought out the beauty in the shots. As the film closes, the illusion of the hero and heroine transformed as mer-man and mermaid reveals Tsui's romantic dream of the underwater world.

Although the film is categorized as "horror", many people coming out of theaters said horror-flick fans are likely to be disappointed. But people who like love stories would think it was wonderful - as long as they survived the horror scenes at the beginning.

Horror doesn't mean each segment is horrifying. Horror can be romantic and warm. I hope after watching the film people can spend more time with ones they love.

Although "Missing" has just been in theatres for about a week, the film has earned some praise from audiences. They're saying the ghost in the film is the most romantic in the cinema, the story has the most romantic ending. So if you are not afraid to be a little bit afraid, you can experience the underwater love story from Tsui Hark.
