This was a terrible movie. I had it on while washing dishes. That's prolly the main reason I didn't turn it off. I didn't have dry hands to work the remotes. If you like to torture yourself with bad movies, put this on.

The First 7th Night - 頭七

The First 7th Night (頭七) is a 2009 film out of Hong Kong. The movie stars Gordon Lam, Julian Cheung, and Michelle Ye. Supporting cast include Eddie Cheung and Tony Ho.

The movie is about Julian Cheung asking Gordon Lam to lead him to Sun and Moon Village. No other taxi driver seem to know the way. As they start for the village, Julian and Gordon start to talk about the restaurant that burned down in town. Gordon tells his version of the story and Julian than tells his version of the story. Both are very different.

I can't go further or I will spoil the movie for you. It was an interesting twist to the ghost and spirits movies that come out of the Chinese market. Because of many traditions, ghost and spirits are usually associated with it. Unlike the US horror market where there really is no rhyme or reason to the horror.

If you like spooky thrillers, you won't want to miss this one. It may make your Halloween spookier!
