Keeper of Darkness

Cheung Ka Fai, Nick, holds down the fort for Hong Kong horror with his second directorial effort. The award-winning actor-director stars as street-smart exorcist Wong who has an unique method of dealing with vengeful spirits: He negotiates with them and persuades them to let go of their grudges. After recordings of his exorcisms go viral, Wong attracts the attentions of a murderous spirit who’s targeting mediums, as well as a troublesome reporter who takes great interest in Wong and his close relationship with a female spirit. Cheung, who cites YouTube videos as an inspiration for the film, blends horror, detective and gangster genre elements into a distinct supernatural suspense thriller.
