Interesting facts

Haunted Road is a 2014 horror film directed by Yijan Tong and co-written by Hong Niangzi. The film is a co-production between China and South Korea, and stars Hong Soo-ah and Jiang Chao. The film revolves around a group of teenagers who went on a roadtrip being trapped by enchantment on a misty highway after witnessing a fatal car accident.

Production

Haunted Road is loosely adapted from Chinese web novelist Hong Niangzi's novel of the same title, with Hong also serving as the screenwriter. Director Yijan Tong incorporated elements of Asian urban legends into the film, including ghosts building a wall and hotel residents going missing during the Ghost Festival. Tong cited Korean horror films Three and Killer Toon as major influences on the film.

Principal photography took place in 2014 and spanned less than a year, with Hong completing her scenes in July. Hong, who speaks Mandarin fluently, performed in the language during filming, but her character's voice was ultimately dubbed by a voice actress in post-production. In September, the Korean production company Joy N Contents Group acquired the distribution rights for South Korea.
