Popcorn Culture - Review: Hungry Ghost Diner

When her uncle mysteriously turns up unannounced one night, Bonnie (Chen Keat Yoke) ends up taking a trip back to her hometown in rural Behrang Stesen. Little does she expect to get stranded there during a Covid-19 lockdown, where she is forced to take refuge in her family's old coffeeshop - only to discover that it is haunted by the ghosts of her relatives who have returned for the Hungry Ghost Festival. We review the movie and talk about, among other things, its unique premise.
