Hotel Soul Good

Driven hotel manager Katy Chow starts seeing ghosts after she suffers a nasty bump on the head in Yan Pak-wing’s spirited comedy. After Katy is fired for her overly firm hand at work, her poltergeist pals make her aware of a small guesthouse which soon gains renown and popularity for being haunted. In return, the ectoplasmic entities ask her to provide a “yin” so that they can bring closure to their purgatorial existence. Enter hapless ne’er-do-well Jason (popular comedic actor and Cantopop singer Louis Cheung) who is proposed as the potential avenue for their escape and a possible beau for Katy, and the stage is set for hysterical hijinks of an otherworldly kind.

“Hotel Soul Good is largely set within the premises of a budget hotel whose staff members include a woman who sees ghosts, a spirit medium, and three actual ghosts … This is a ghost movie with a heart and soul, whose makers appeared more inclined to tickle the funny bone and touch the heart than scare people witless.” — YTSL, Webs of Significance
