A night guard, a dead girlfriend, and therapy that definitely isn't working.
In a late-night car accident, a young woman who was traveling with Wang Renjie died tragically on the spot due to drunk driving. Suffering from amnesia, Wang Renjie is often tormented by his illness and the woman's ghost, and has to rely on psychotherapy to get by. With the help of a female psychiatrist, Li Yuhong, Wang Renjie finally found a job as a night guard.
Acting
Ryan Kuo's hollow-eyed unraveling carries the whole thing.
Practical Effects
Ghost effects so lo-fi they loop back to genuinely unsettling.
Director
Allen Jiang
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Allen Jiang shot this in actual abandoned buildings around Taipei, often without permits. The 'found' locations contribute to the film's unshakable sense of real urban decay.
The film taps into specifically Taiwanese anxieties about hit-and-run culture and 'buying off' guilt through religious ritual—wang Renjie's failure to properly mourn or atone would register differently for local audiences.
