Description

After living in Shanghai for three years, Sarah (Jaime King, Sin City), her husband Jason (Terry Chen) and young son Sam (Regan Oey) return to Vancouver for a family funeral. They have arrived during Ghost Month, an ancient Chinese belief where souls of the dead roam the earth for their chance to be heard once more by the living. While the family stays with Jason’s Aunt Mei (Cheng Pei Pei), Sam begins to see ghosts and falls gravely ill. When the western doctors can offer no hope, Sarah turns to a mysterious pharmacist (Henry O) who believes that Sam is caught between the real world and spirits who are not at rest, and that if she cannot save her son by the end of Ghost Month, he will be lost forever. Director Ernie Barbarash’s gripping horror film is unique for its female protagonist and distinct lack of gratuitous gore. Featuring great cinematography and a terrific score, audiences who love a good ghost story with thrills and chills will love this creepy, well-crafted nail-biter. In English. 89mins.
