Hex
A dark, paranoia-soaked supernatural tale where a mistreated woman's guilt and fear blur the line between vengeful haunting and psychological unraveling.
Constantly mistreated by her cruel husband, the frail Chan Sau-ying awaits certain death from tuberculosis. The new servant girl, Kei-wah takes pity on her mistress' plight and the pair proceed to drown him one evening. They dump his body in a near-by pond but Sau-ying believes that the man's bloated corpse has risen from the bog to seek vengeance.
