Anthony Wong and Karena Lam turn in exceptional performances in this mystery thriller, but the plot is confusing.
Cast: Anthony Wong, Karena Lam, Carlos Chan, Kathy Yuen
One day, he received a mystery call from a guy asking about their company’s compensation for death by suicide. Subsequently, he was requested to visit a client named Chu Chung-tak at his home. Wing-shun found himself at a dark and dilapidated house in the countryside, and was asked to enter Chung-tak’s stepson’s room.
Following that, Chung-tak began to harass Wing-shun at his office for the insurance payout. Wing-shun was convinced Chung-tak is a psychopathic murderer whose next target is his wife, Shum Chi-ling . However, as Wing-shun dives deeper, danger began lurking around him and the people around him, including his girlfriend .
The plot, on the other hand, falls terribly short, especially the non-conclusive ending. This adaptation did not bring out a truly horrifying experience of the novel it was based on — whether it is the psychological aspect or the grisly visuals. It could have been better if more insights to the psychopath’s thoughts and actions were revealed, or more daring and gory scenes were used. The ending could also explain more about what happened to Wing-shun and Chung-tak.
