Yes, I Can See Dead People
Fans of the Asian Horror zeitgeist who’ve grown weary with the genre—weakened by too many unimaginative knock-offs and sequels—will find their interest revitalized by Hong Kong’s fresh and funny Yes, I Can See Dead People. Nam is not your typical teenager. Sure, he spends a little too much time on his computer, and tries a little too hard to meet the gorgeous stewardess who lives in his building. But recently three of Nam's friends have committed suicide, which isn’t all bad since, as the title implies, he sees ghosts. However, these suicides only foreshadow weirder things to come. Soon his brother Tung, along with Chee, his stewardess crush, begin to act strangely, while his visions of ghostly children and other phantoms grow more frequent. With aid from his brother's girlfriend Charlie, Nam sets out to investigate his haunted building's past and help these malevolent spirits cross over. With a pinch of Wes Craven and a dash of Hideo Nakata, director David Lee shows an assured hand at mixing extreme terror with moments of sweet, gentle humor in his feature film debut. Oh, and careful with the eyeball.

Not even all that scary, Jun 05, 2009
By Zheng Wang
“In picking this movie, I was hoping it would be either absorbing and spooky (like "Dark Water"), or quirky and funny (like "My Left Eye Sees Ghost"). Unfortunately, it was neither. It's not totally unwatchable (note the 2 stars, not 1), and we get some old-fashioned scares achieved mostly through”
