YesAsia Editorial Description
Director Herman Yau continues his streak of unheralded Hong Kong films with the horror-thriller The First 7th Night. Flying well under the radar at Hong Kong cinemas, the Category III-rated film only received limited theatrical play but was well received by local Hong Kong critics. Yau's cast reads like a who's who of under-appreciated Hong Kong actors, starting with Gordon Lam (Mad Detective) and including Julian Cheung (Heavenly Mission), Michelle Ye (Moonlight in Tokyo), Eddie Cheung (Throwdown) and Tony Ho (The Longest Summer). Possessing solid acting, an unexpected story, some tense scenes and even some surprising emotions, The First 7th Night easily qualifies as one of the year's most underrated Hong Kong films.
A cab driver nicknamed "Map King" (Gordon Lam) leads a lonely existence, living out of the trunk of his cab and shunning connection with anyone. One evening, he's asked to lead a truck driver named Pony (Julian Cheung) to the remote Moon and Sun Village – a place that only Map King knows how to get to. Map King is hesitant at first, but changes his mind when he's paid a sizable tip. The drive is a long one, so Map King tells Pony a ghost story, about a fire that consumed a now-derelict inn at the Moon and Sun Village. The owner was a widow (Michelle Ye), who received some armed bandits as her guests on the "First 7th Night" – exactly seven days after the passing of her husband. Unaffected by Map King's chilling tale, Pony reveals his own ghost story, and it's curiously about the same inn, the same widow and the very same night...

Intriguing ghostly mystery
| "The First 7th Night" is the cinematic equivalent of sitting around a campfire with your friends and swapping ghost stories. It is fun, it is gripping, it serves up lots of plot twists and turns, and it yields a surprising and entirely satisfying ending. Featuring loads of gritty action, a haunting, and Rashomon-like multiple perspectives on the same story, director Herman Yau's latest offering delivers great entertainment and interesting insights. I recommend it highly. |
