Synopsis
A 3-part omnibus horror film directed by Fruit Chan (Made in Hong Kong (1998) and Little Cheung (2001)) , Fung Chih Chiang and Wesley Hoi Ip Sang. Tales from the Occult starts with Hoi’s shock value-packed The Chink, in which the discovery of a decomposed dead body builds into daily paranoiac disturbances that consume the living space of a woman with actual horror. Chan’s Dead Mall is a blend of the zombie and slasher genres set in the limited space of a shopping mall and viewed by the outside world via YouTube. Fung, the longtime screenplay writer who made his directorial debut with A Witness Out Of The Blue (2019), casts veteran actor Richie Jen as a mysterious character in his noir-ish The Tenement, in which the tales of a building’s tenants unravel.
