Sorry, i cant find any trailers or posters for this film.
Fiona Xie...
dunno next time got Shawn Yue scandal photo or not?
continue in exisiting thread
A movie which plays with the old type of plot for Chinese horror, but in a good way....
Expect lots of suspense with twists spread throughout the movie... Atmosphere building is not bad in general sense....
I didn't thought I would be catching this one as I wasn't really interested, but after the preview.. Somehow it has gotten more than I thought it could be....
I'm sure some of you out there would conveniently associate Kelvin Tong's reputation with the dismal Men in White, forgetting that the writer-director had his success stories in his earlier works Eating Air and The Maid. You can tell clearly that I did not really enjoy MiW, nor his experimental Love Story, but with Rule #1, Kelvin Tong gets my vote of confidence henceforth, if he steers clear of bad comedy, and pretentious art house flicks.

The story goes pretty well until the ekin cheng said that the ghost can be transfer by touching...thats when all the lame shit started...
didnt understand the storyline. can somebody explain? i don't understand the last part. how come ekin, fiona died. this movie damn confusing.
fiona didnt die..she turned into a sex slave.
fiona's voice stand in was horrid.
her voice was like ...........
how to quote post ah?
the last part of the story got 2 ending.
1st is the fake story which is made up by the serial killer who have already possessed shawn yue during the part when the policewoman was possessed liao. u know the scene when shawn quickly run to his house to find the killer and suddenly the scene was gone. after the scene is gone, shawn was possessed by the killer who was hiding in the house. the part where ekin wife came to find ekin is also fake as she is not possessed at all so this is fake too
2nd is the real story. it shows that shawn was already being possessed and he went to his workplace to kill the funny guy and later at the part where he and ekin meet, shawn immediately kill him when he was about to sit down.

I noticed her only screen time is at Shawn Yue's house . Dun worry , got 2 sex scenes in the movie
this movie is scary ! i heard from friends that it happened in sg b4 and the police and govt wanted to cover it up. thats why this movie was shot entirely in hong kong. im not sure if this is true tho.
