Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

In Hong Kong, the successful designer Ming (Shawn Yue) lives with his beloved girlfriend Wai Luk (Stephy Tang) and her younger sister that loves comic books of ghost stories. When Wai is diagnosed of cancer in the pancreas by her doctor, the life of Ming turns upside-down, and he sacrifices his career to spend more time with Wai. He finds a new job in a lower position and out of the blue he finds that his boss Chu Fong (Yung-yung Yue) was his friend in the elementary school. When Wai gives- up of the chemotherapy and decides to treat herself in accordance with the traditional Chinese medicine guided by her aunt, she has a weird behavior at home, and her frightened sister insists that she is a ghost. Meanwhile, Ming gets closer to Fong, who is a successful entrepreneur but a woman needy of love, and during a travel to Peking, they have one night stand. During the next days, Ming and Fong have a love affair and Ming believes that Wai is a spirit resolving her issues to move to the next level.

"Chung Oi" is another great movie of Danny Pang, one of my favorite directors of Asian horror movies together with his brother Oxide Pang. This creepy story is actually a dramatic and tragic romance, developed in a slow pace; and as usual in Asian horror movies, the story has a plot point in the very end, offering a surprising conclusion to most of the average viewers like me. The title in English – "In Love with the Dead" – is simply perfect and does not misguide the viewer. Last but not the least, the acting is top-notch and Shawn Yue and Yung-yung Yue are very gorgeous women. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Paixão Sobrenatural" ("Supernatural Passion")
