豆知識

Tales from the Dark 1 is a 2013 Hong Kong horror anthology film directed by Simon Yam, Lee Chi-ngai, and Fruit Chan. The film is split into three segments, each based on a short story by Lilian Lee. The first part, titled Stolen Goods (贓物), starred Simon Yam as a jobless man who steals funerary urns and forces the dead's relatives to pay him to get back the urns. The second part, titled A Word in the Palm (放手), starred Tony Leung Ka-fai as a fortune-teller who teams up with his neighbour to help the ghost of a schoolgirl. The final part, titled Jing Zhe (驚蟄), starred Susan Shaw as a "villain-hitter" who is approached by a woman to curse four people.

Production and style

The film's story was adapted from the second book in Lilian Lee's five-volume book series that were originally published in newspaper form. The film's directors included Fruit Chan and Lee Chi-ngai who have not directed many films in the past decade and Simon Yam who made his directorial debut with this film.

Derek Elley of Film Business Asia described the film as a "portmanteau horror film" and felt it was similar in tone and style to 1980s and early 1990s Hong Kong horror films. The Hollywood Reporter echoed this statement, referring to it as a "film that harkens back to the glory days of Hong Kong horror in the 1980s."
