The period supernatural thriller 49 Days stars Steven Fung, who has directed and led the cast in House of Fury, the adorable Gillian Chung of Twins, and Raymond Wong from the supporting cast of many great titles such as PTU. Filled with spookiness and suspense, 49 Days offers something quite different from the rising Japanese and Korean thrillers. The film intrigues the viewers with cultural details unique to the Chinese folk tradition - burning rhinoceros horn as a way to see beyond the mortal world probably sounds mysterious yet interesting to some. Created by Tsui Siu Ming, an all-round talent in the TV and film industry, the movie will unfold a man's life-and-death adventure within 49 Days - another symbolic number in Chinese culture!
Lau Sing (Steven Fung), joined by his eight buddies, leaves his family to start a Chinese medicine business in a big city. One of his eight friends, Pang Sei (Raymond Wong) betrays him and burns down Lau's business. Pang even sets Lau up for the murder of his colleagues and friends. Lau seems to have little chance to escape from his unjust death sentence, until Siu Chin (Gillian Chung), a young and pretty lawyer, appears as his savior. Unfortunately, Siu Chin fails to show up on the day of Lau's execution... Will Lau have the chance to see his family again?
