Shawn Yue’s Shootin’ Ghosts!  It’s The Trailer For Kelvin Tong’s RULE #1!

The Visitor first brought us news of Kelvin Tong’s upcoming cop-horror Rule #1 earlier this month and with the film’s release in Malaysia and Singapore coming up in just a coupel weeks the first trailer has just appeared online.  With Hong Kong star Shawn Yue cast as a cop forced to deal with supernatural occurrences the comparisons to recent Taiwanese effort Silk seem obvious but while that film played up the action angle, Tong’s appears more focused on the horror element.  Seems a sensible choice for Tong, who made his mark with the international hit The Maid and has produced spotty results since, one that may very well restore his name on the international festival circuit.  Yes, the premise is a bit goofy but the execution looks good. You’ll find the trailer below the break in the Twitch Player.

Rookie Sergeant Lee (Shawn Yue) is injured in a shoot-out and is assigned to the dubious-sounding Miscellaneous Affairs Department (MAD). There, he is paired up with Inspector Wong (Ekin Cheng), a jaded and alcoholic veteran who explains that MAD’s role is to answer supernatural calls. Wong explains MAD’s rule number one - there are no ghosts. For every seemingly-inexplicable phenomenon, there is a corresponding scientific and rational explanation. MAD begins investigating a string of bizarre teenage suicides; impossible suicides, unless the victims were possessed. As Lee and Wong follow the clues, they realize something sinister is heading their way.
