Decades ago, the village head of a remote Hong Kong fishing community executed a man for adultery by drowning him in the sea. The man’s lover, fleeing in terror, met her own grisly end in a quicksand pit. Now, their restless spirits haunt the shores, claiming swimmers one by one and leaving their bloated corpses as grim warnings. Local policeman Lu Hsien, a skeptic by nature, is drawn into a nightmare of supernatural vengeance as he investigates the disappearances. Blending period atmosphere with folk-horror dread, this classic delivers eerie aquatic terror and a slow-burn descent into madness.

User Reviews
VHS_Nightmare – 7/10
“This one surprised me. The opening is grim and sets a great tone. The atmosphere of the small village and the ocean is genuinely unsettling, and the drowned ghost is creepy as hell. It's not perfect, but for a late 80s horror, it's a solid pick.”
GoreHound_88 – 5/10
“I wanted to like this more. The premise is decent, but the pacing dragged in the middle. The scares are mostly jump scares and some dated effects. Still, there's a charm to the old-school Hong Kong horror vibe, and the ending has a nice twist.”
ScreamQueen_2020 – 6/10
“It's a mixed bag. The story is interesting, and the revenge from beyond the grave is well done. But the acting is over the top at times, and the quicksand scene is more silly than scary. Worth a watch if you're into cult classics.”
PhantomPhan – 8/10
“This movie has stuck with me. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the folk horror elements are right up my alley. The underwater scenes are haunting, and the malevolent spirits feel genuinely menacing. A hidden gem that deserves more attention.”
