The Closet

Due to his rebellious nature, Law Fei suffered a traumatic childhood with abuse and maltreatment from his bad-tempered but famous sculptor father. Apart from receiving corporal punishment and verbal abuse, he was often locked up inside the wardrobe. The dark childhood turned Law Fei into a weirdo frequently tormented by the pain of childhood memories as well as hallucination of his dead father. Law Fei betrayed his father's artistic career and chose to become a magician and performer of extremities instead, to prove his own capabilities. During one of his death-defying show, Law Fei was seriously wounded by shocks of his childhood nightmares. Not knowing the truth behind it, his girlfriend thought he was stretching his physical strength too far. She therefore took him to a quiet retreat in the suburb to recuperate. On a windy moonless night, the five of them went through a terrifying catastrophe.

Directed by Dick Cho, The Closet leans on a strong ensemble — Francis Ng Chun-Yu, Yang Yang, Eddie Cheung Siu-Fai — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about mystery titles of 2007.
