Hungry Ghost Diner is a Malaysian horror-comedy film that provides a refreshing blend of amusement, heart, and supernatural elements. Directed by Malaysian filmmaker Cho We Jun, the film brings a unique perspective to the horror-comedy genre, deeply rooted in the cultural traditions and beliefs of Hungry Ghost Month, a significant time in the Chinese lunar calendar when it is believed that spirits return to the earthly realm.
The story centres around a young woman named Bonnie, who reluctantly returns to her family’s old and now dilapidated restaurant during the Hungry Ghost Festival. The restaurant, once a bustling family business, has been closed for some time, and its reopening brings back not just old memories but also some unexpected visitors from the spirit world.
