VISITS, A Hungry Ghost Anthology from Bone House Asia, Haunts DVD Release
From BONE HOUSE ASIA comes Visits, a Hungry Ghost Anthology from Malaysia!
“Today is a special day for the Chinese.
It’s the fourteenth day of the seventh month…
In other words, the Chinese Halloween.
So what’s this all about?
It’s known that the gates of purgatory will open on this day…
And the hungry ghosts will be released….”
In honor of the Hungry Ghost Festival of the lunar Seventh Month, Kuala Lampur-based producer Lina Tan has assembled four award-winning filmmakers to explore the ancient Chinese observance of the “ghost month,” when the souls of the dead are released from limbo to intermingle with the living, from a decidedly modern perspective:
1413 Directed by Low Ngai
Yuen Mae Ling doesn’t remember the suicide pact that left her best friend dead and herself in the hospital – but now a pale, terrifying figure is stalking the shadowy corridors, and there will be no rest for either of them until a deadly score is settled….
Waiting for Them Directed by James Lee
Sam spends her life with people who aren’t there – an occasional boyfriend, too distant to provide the emotional support she desires, and her depressed friend Ann, with whom she spends long hours on the phone talking over a failed relationship. Is it any wonder that someone with so little connection to her own life should find herself with one foot planted in the world of the dead?
Nodding Scoop Directed by Ng Tian Hann
An aspiring young videographer seeks to photograph a spirit, conjured during a traditional divination ritual – but this is no benign parlor trick. When the callow participants offend the ghost they have summoned for their entertainment, they find to their horror that the game they are playing is for keeps….
Anybody Home? Directed by Ho Yuhang
Who may be watching you when you think you’re alone? Given the technology available today, it is far more than just the restless shades of the departed who may have their invisible eyes on us. But in this chilling tale of morbid obsession gone to deadly extremes, what you see may be disturbing, but it’s what you can’t see that could be lethal.
