Ghostly Affection is a curious piece from 1987 that blends horror with folklore. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the pacing is quite deliberate, allowing the tension to build as the ghostly revenge unfolds. The idea of Phi Tai Hong, the vengeful spirit, is rooted in cultural lore, which gives it a distinct flavor compared to typical slasher flicks. The practical effects, though not always polished, have a raw charm that adds to the film's eerie vibe. Performances, especially from the ghostly lead, bring a kind of tragic weight to the horror, making you feel for her plight even as she exacts her revenge. It's not your standard ghost story, and that makes it stand out.
