The title of this movie attracted my attention, but the movie is lame. The pace is slow and the scene is not scary/horrible. Just a plain boring horror movie, yawn~

Story:

May Ho is a woman who inherits a vast fortune when her rich husband drowns in a scuba diving accident in the Caribbean. May told several joking lies to win her Stanford-educated, extremely successful husband, and his mother and sister are less than pleased when they find out, especially since they still harbor suspicions about her motives in marrying her husband after knowing him for only seven days. Nonetheless, the house, fortune, and a portion of the family fashion company are hers. Depressed, alone, and deeply missing her husband (feelings further exacerbated when her husband's dog, Whisky, dies), May goes on a binge of eating, drinking, smoking, watching television, and stealing from her own company's stores, culminating in a drunken car ride and near-fatal car accident.

May finds herself lying on the ground outside her car and thinks she is unscathed, until she approaches her vehicle and sees her bloody body in the driver's seat. Ken Wong appears to her and scares her into returning to her body, reviving herself.

Although she just barely evaded death, the left side of May's face is heavily injured. Later in the hospital, when she removes the gauze covering her left eye, she suddenly realizes she can see ghosts with that eye. She soon finds herself in the constant company and care of the ghost Ken, who claims that he is her former classmate who died when he was 13 in a typhoon out at sea. Throughout their escapades in the realm of the supernatural, May slowly develops a connection with him. However, despite all the ghosts she has encountered, her husband has never appeared to her and she deeply wants to see him, even for just an instant. Ken attempts to help her fulfill this wish before he crosses the Twilight Junction to be reincarnated though it initially appears she did not succeed. Only the spirit of her husband's late dog, Whisky, appears - seemingly close to Ken as if the canine knows him. Ken ask May for a final wish to hug her before he moves on, and in doing so she had to pretend that he was her husband.

Later, she goes to check on the restoration of her husband's vintage car and discovers the restorer resembles Ken, who turned to be the real Ken who did not really die when he was 13. She finally realize that the ghost who had been at her side all the while was actually her dead husband in disguise to prevent her from becoming too attached to him and to urge her to move on. She tries several ways to contact him after he had moved on, but all attempts were useless. Her ability to see ghosts had also disappeared. The film ends with a hint of a future romance between May and Ken.

This is a very fun black comedy movie of Sammi + Sean. A brand new mix up of these 2 actors ever in the HK film industry. Both of them are superb and able to make us laugh all the ways in the movie. But who make me laugh the most? Of coz is the Fei Mui ghost !!! haha~ omg... she so damn funny... a film never bored to rewatch for a thousand time...

This was not my first choise in the cinema during that night, but wow, luckily me and my friends went for it instead :) A movie which not to be missed in this year. Splendid martial kungfu fighting wushu film which took your breath away.

Michelle Yeoh looks so young in this film, definitely have to thanks to the magical make up :) Still love her but kinda weird when its not her original voice in the movie. Barbie definitely show all of us how a bitch should be :) hehe, not bad though, but i believe it will be better if her sister is taking this part~

The whole movie is nice, storyline is good, a bit predictable in the end but still manage to stunt u with all the actions they have in the fighting.

Seriously, I'm impressed with the storyline and how the character twist and turn. Sean Lau's acting of course cannot be deny, but i was surprise at how good Lau Kam-Ling was. No doubt she's good in both TVB & ATV, but movie? Gosh... though she doesn't have much scene, but she definitely outshine others.
