Short description

When a former actor moves into an apartment building with the intention of commiting suicide, he is saved by a Taoist priest who used to specialize in hunting Chinese hopping vampires: or Jiāngshī. Elsewhere in the building, a woman turns to a specialist in black magic to bring her husband back to life.

What's left behind the scenes

"I wanted the lead actor to truly immerse himself in depression," director Juno Mak said in an interview. "We consulted with several doctors and came up with a devious plan. The film crew regularly disrupted Chin Siu-Ho's sleep, calling him and forcing him to talk for at least five minutes every two hours seven days a week for three months. He was also put on a strict diet: nothing but black coffee, boiled vegetables, and water. Three months and – voilà! Depression is evident."

He was also put on a strict diet: nothing but black coffee, boiled vegetables, and water. Three months and—voila! The depression was evident.”
