Synopsis:
Lim has always been unlucky. He is struggling to make ends meet until he chanced upon the 'Wordless Script' one day and won the lottery! As the winning was only marginal, it was soon exhausted when he spent it with Nam and Hui, his two poor roommates cum colleagues who excavate bones from old graves for a living. Unwilling to return to his poor days, Lim approaches the 'Wordless Script' for winning numbers again. This time, the Book-Spirit of the "Wordless Script" forewarns Lim that he will have to pay a heavy price, should he wants big winnings. Blinded by greed, Lim agrees to the terms and strikes a deal with the Book-Spirit. As Lim's life gets better and lavish, he also becomes increasingly dependent on the Book-Spirit, seeking its advice in everything. Soon, the Book-Spirit reveals the price which Lim has to pay for all his riches... and Lim will have to pay with his life! It is only with Lim's death, that he can be the next Book-Spirit, thus liberating the current Book-Spirit. Little does Lim expects: the richer he gets, the closer he is to his death. At the same time, the greedy gambler in Nam is playing with fire... To satisfy his gambling addiction, he resorted to stealing the accompanying valuables in the coffin during one of the excavations, despite strong objections from Hui. Following Nam's theft, strange things happened. A vengeful spirit haunts Nam and Hui repeatedly, causing them much distress... The trio of Lim, Nam and Hui can actually lead a decent and peaceful life, but made decisions at various stages of their lives to pursue riches and luxuries without knowing the heavy price they had to pay. Is there really no way for the trio to redeem themselves from this mess? Or is their death the ultimate solution?

My Comments: Today ME & Kimmy had visited Kepong Village Mall purposely to watch movie nearby without needing to go far places. We have selected MBO Cinemas to watch this movie. It's a mixture of Malaysian, Singaporean and Taiwanese artist who acted in this movie and overall it's pretty satisfying. This movie initially talk about the typical Chinese believe ghost story and it's supposed to be very scary but this movie turns out to be more into a comedy. Most of the scenes here will make your laugh and the jokes are pretty nice too. If you are into those exotic or scary ghost movies, this movie is not suitable for you. There are some scenes which makes you scary but still it's not scary enough. I hope you know what I mean. Featuring the experience Singaporean actor Henry Thia, this guy is really a fun comedian and his jokes is really hilarious. For Taiwanese host, Kang Kang and Nono, they are also one of the actors inside this movie and they are rather funny too. If you do see their host on TV, they are also famous in making jokes in front of its audiences. And last but not least our Malaysian Brendan Yuen and he's also one of the funny comedians if you see TV Series Ah Beng on Astro. A perfect blend of actors and it would be a very funny movie to catch and you could forget about the scary scene on this movie. The storyline is well documented and the ghost inside this movie includes the famous Singaporean Mark Lee that makes you laugh too. A big improvement on the jokes but still it's not scary enough. I would still recommend you to watch this movie and have a great laugh! MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5
