  • 7 months ago
Blood Ties is a Singaporean supernatural horror movie directed by Chai Yee Wei and released in 2009. It tells a slained policeman possesses his sister's body to exact revenge on his corrupt boss and the crime syndicate responsible for his death.

The bloody events of this supernatural revenge film are set in motion when a police detective named Shun (David Leong) and his beautiful young wife are brutally murdered at the hands of some local gangsters.

Oddly, the police don't seem to have a clue who perpetrated the crime, and even worse, they suspect that Shun was actually a dirty cop. Shun, however, would tend to disagree. And a little thing like death isn't going to stop him from voicing his concerns.

Chinese belief states that the souls of the recently deceased always return on the seventh day after their initial passing. And as fate would have it, Shun does indeed return, but instead of coming back as a reanimated corpse, he decides to inhabit the body of his thirteen-year-old-sister, Qing (Joey Leong). And it is through the vessel of a teenaged girl that Shun then proceeds to exact the bloody retribution for his own demise as well as the rape and murder of his wife (Maggie Tan).

When Qing disappears in the middle of the night, her mother (Cheng Pei-Pei) rushes to the police station to enlist the help of her son's superior officer (Kenneth Tsang Kong). Upon her arrival, he's seemingly caught in an awkward position of wanting to help a grieving mother, but also knowing that he plans to condemn her dead son soon afterwards.

Unbeknownst to Qing's mother, the reason the police chief is still at the precinct burning the midnight oil is because he's prepping a press release that implicates Shun as a corrupt cop. Meanwhile, Qing/Shun tracks down the guilty parties one-by-one ......
