aka Gin gwai 2. Joey (Shu Qi), a girl from Hong Kong, who is holidaying in Thailand, makes the classic cry for help suicide bid. Once recovered she returns to Hong Kong, but starts seeing visions of dead people. Then she's told she is pregnant. With her boyfriend avoiding her she is tortured with thoughts of the unborn child, as well as a mysterious woman who seems to be stalking her. All the while her fragile mind wavers in and out of sanity.
A pervasive evil lurks throughout the film, aided by a number of fine set pieces, but it never quite attains the heights reached by the first film. Still it is a fine Asian horror, that addresses the Buddist belief in re-birth and karma.
