Hell Bank Presents: Running Ghost

冥通銀行特約:翻生爭霸戰

Limited seating

The main attraction in hell is an ostentatious, kitsch game show where the departed scare the wits out of the living. Newly arrived Wong Hui Kwai doesn’t fit there: he is so apathetic he doesn’t even know how he died. The one thing he remembers is the girl he had a crush on. Madcap supernatural antics ensue as he finds himself back on earth embroiled in the competition. This irreverent horror-comedy about love gone wrong boasts a patently raucous Hong Kong style. It’s a roller coaster ride of modern media informed gags, inventive visual effects, otherworldly plot twists, with pathos to spare.
