The prefecture
known as Guang Xi has a history of supernatural occurrences. In the early
part of the 20th Century, a great natural disaster occurred in Guang Xi
causing the villagers to become even more superstitious. Stories of ghosts
and plagues inflamed the perplexed people. To calm the community down,
a medical team was dispatched by the government. These doctors and psychologists
set up shop inside the Christian Missionary of Guang Xi. Of course, they
had no idea that the curses were real and the church was actually the
home of the vengeful ghosts. Now these scientists must come to grips with
the reality of deadly spirits terrorizing the countryside.
Director Ah
Gan - who also signs his projects with various pseudonyms including AGAN
