24-Hour Ghost Story
What, now ghosts have a hunger for a king size
slushy and a chili dog? In this one four friends – Francis Ng, Gigi Lai,
Simon Lui & Chin Kar-Lok – open a 24-hour convenience store, but soon
Francis starts hearing a Peking Opera song playing – even on a disconnected
phone. The problem is no one else hears it. Is he going crazy or is the
store haunted.
Soon Dayo Wong – a cop – is spooked as well and
the two of them try to exorcise the ghost. It turns out that seven years
before four friends had also worked there and had killed each other in
a night of insanity. Will history be repeated?
The first hour of this low budget film is as mild
as a tuna fish sandwich, but then things start getting a little nasty as
the ghost begins possessing them and causing problems – leading perhaps
to murder?
A fairly so-so entry into the horror genre with
a few good moments.
