Real-life pop stars Charlene Choi and Gillian Chung star in a ghastly (and funny) tale about eight siblings who share the same father but have different mothers. The group gathers at their late father's mansion to discuss his will, but just after they arrive, strange occurrences scare the bejesus out of them. Add to that the crazy rules their father mandated they follow to receive their fortunes, and the children may never leave alive!

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its hybrid tone by juxtaposing the comedic timing of pop idols Charlene Choi and Gillian Chung against a backdrop of traditional haunted house tropes. It relies on the claustrophobic setting and the absurdity of the father's rules to generate both laughs and genuine unease.

What lingers after the credits is the playful energy of a horror-comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously, making family disputes literally a matter of life and death. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Cheang Pou-Soi
