A fight with her drugpusher Ord ends with Por being pushed into a swamp &
left to die, but fortunately she is saved in the nick of time & brought to
a hospital, where she's not only nursed back to health, but she also learns
that she is pregnant. - which comes as rather a shock to her.
A bigger shock though is that she is soon visited by a female ghost who
starts to haunt her with gruesome images of drowning & of a child brutally
torn from a womb ... & everybody of course thinks at first these are
drug-induced hallucinations in conjuncture with her pregnancy, & the
understanding head of the hospital, Doctor Rudee calls in Pat, an officer of
the drug rehabilitation center, for help ... of course at first to little
avail.
When Por finds out though that one of the hospital's aides is in league with
Ord, her assailant, she insists on leaving the hospital ... & doctor Rudee
agrees, if Por promises her not to abort - as she has lost a daughter not long
ago roughly the age of Por.
However, the haunting doesn't stop with a change of locale, as the female
ghost continues to visit Por on a regular basis ... until Por is fed up &
challenges the ghost to come out in the open & tell her what she wants ...
which the ghost does, & it turns out to be the spirit of Mei, a pregnant
girl who was drowned in the same swamp Por almost lost her life in, & her
baby was torn fronm her womb after her death by some superstitious villagers
& had disappeared since. & now Mei wants Por to find both her killers
& her fetus.
Por decides to take up investigations, starting with the hospital aide whose
in league with Ord, & who doesn't confess to anything of course, but does
get freaked out enough to tell Ord about it, who also had to do with the
killing of Mei. & while Por, with the help of drug rehab officer Pat, who
has come around to believe her fter seeing evidence of the ghost on a videotape
he made of Por, makes further inquiries, Ord prepares to kill Por, but when he
catches her alone in her appartment, Mei steps in to her aid & in the end
Ord knows no other way out but to plunge down Por's balcony to his death.
Next it's the search for Mei's fetus, which is found immured in the building
of a rich but crooked Taiwanese, who kept the fetus as a talisman, but when he
got too greedy, fortunes turned against him.
Then Mei haunts the hospital's aide sufficiently enough to confess to
everything to the police: How he & Ord helped rich kid Pandit to get rid of
pregnant Mei, Pandit's mistress who he thought he killed in affect. So Ord
& the aide decided to dump Mei's corpse in the swamp ... but when they
found her to be alive, Ord just killed her all the same & dumped her. Later
greedy Ord & the aide stole the fetus & sold it to the Taiwanese for
big bucks ...
With this confession the case seems to be tied up, since Pandit, overcome by
guilt, commits suicide ...
But why then does Mei still appear to Por, especially when she does nothing
more than go to understandig doctor Rudee for a medical check ?
As if you haven't guessed, Rudee is in it as well, since she's the mother of
Pandit, who committed suicide because of Por's investigations, & now she
will stop at nothing to kill Por after having her pumped full of drugs ... but
when Por already hangs down a rooftop with her letting loose & plunging to
her death only a matter of minutes, Mei steps in again & haunts Rudee
enough to take a plunge in Por's stead, while Por is saved in literally the last
second by Pat.
This movie starts out quite interesting & has some genuinely scary
scenes, during the first half ... but then the narration shifts when the ghost
turns out to not be all that evil - actually it's just a murdered woman seeking
vengeance on those who killed her -, & the film becomes a rather routine
murder mystery, with a ghost thrown in just for good measure, which is not at
all frightening though since the ghost only kills evil people - which pretty
much takes all of the suspense out of the proceedings& pretty much destroys
all the menacing atmosphere the film was so eager to build up in its first
half.
