What to expect
The Pang Brothers return to Hong Kong horror with a story that ties a medium’s guilt to a string of deaths staged as accidents. Josie Ho plays Lan Pui-ching, a scavenger who collects haunted objects to help restless spirits cross over — a private penance for a mistake she made as a teenage spirit medium thirteen years ago. When a hanged body appears in a forest park, she keeps turning up at subsequent crime scenes before the police do, insisting the deaths are connected. The tension comes from her fear of water and the flashbacks it triggers, not from gore. The movie is rated IIB, runs 98 minutes, and opens October 8, 2026. It is showing at 19 cinemas across 14 districts, with 280 screenings over the next seven days. Tickets start at HK$55. English and Chinese subtitles are provided.
