The Cursed

Troublesome Night series director Yip Wai Ying returns to the horror genre in the 2018 scarefest The Cursed. Surgeon Jia'er (Annie Liu, Hungry Ghost Ritual), who grew up in an orphanage, is surprised to one day receive news of a grandmother (Nina Paw, Show Me Your Love) who just passed away. The legal letter states that she has inherited her grandmother's mansion in Malaysia. Confused about this sudden revelation, Jia'er decides to go to Malaysia with her friends Jessica and Amy to find out the truth. Along the way, she re-encounters childhood friend Suwen (Wilfred Lau, The Leakers). While arranging her grandmother's matters, strange and terrifying things begin to happen, and Jia'er sets out to uncover the secret hidden in the mansion

Directed by Yip Wai-Ying, The Cursed leans on a strong ensemble — Annie Liu Xin-You, Wilfred Lau Ho-Lung, Lam Suet — 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 horror titles of 2018.
