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")
