The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is playing 26 times at 8 cinemas across 8 districts, from HK$60 to HK$130 depending on cinema and time. The cheapest seat is at B+ cinema MOKO (Mong Kok East) in Mong Kok, HK$60. Category IIB · 98 minutes.

What to expect

The Pang Brothers return with a supernatural crime story that leans on guilt rather than gore. Josie Ho plays a scavenger who, thirteen years after a reckless act as a spirit medium led to a girl’s death, now collects haunted objects and tries to lay the dead to rest. When a hanging pulls her into a murder investigation, the case becomes a test of her fractured mind and the scepticism of the detective she drags along. The horror is psychological — water triggers her panic, and the dead speak through her — so the IIB rating reflects unsettling imagery more than explicit violence. At 98 minutes, it is a compact watch. The midnight screening runs with Cantonese dialogue and both English and Chinese subtitles. Across the next seven days there are 26 sessions spread over 8 cinemas in 8 districts, with tickets from HK$60, so finding a seat should be straightforward.
