Reception
Kurt Dalhke of 'DVD Talk' wrote a positive review of the film, writing that "Lau and crew's characterizations work fantastically, so when the camera is rushing urgently through those narrow, sickly tunnels underneath the hospital, rounding corner after blind corner on the way to who knows what, we're right there in person feeling the terror, the almost unbearable tension."
John Lui of 'The Straits Times' gave the film three stars out of five in his review of the film, stating, "Haunted Changi takes huge chances with keeping the world of the documentary intact. There are small issues, such as the camera tracking a little too smoothly in some spots, and larger ones, such as when spooks, both computer-generated and played by actors, appear." Juliana June Rasul of 'The New Paper' gave the film two-and-a-half stars out of five, stating, "If there is any sense of creepiness, it is provided purely by the location."
