Needing a break from their busy lives, a group of young professionals living in Hong Kong decide to take a few days off and spend some time relaxing on a quiet and secluded island. After arriving at their rental property, one of the friends (who has the ability to see ghosts) begins having terrifying visions of people who have taken their own lives by inhaling burning charcoal. To make matters worse, the group of friends starts to receive cryptic messages on their pagers. Soon, the horror of the property begins to reveal itself and the group has no choice but to try to survive the night before falling victim to the evil that awaits them.
Directed by notorious CAT III director Billy Tang (Dr. Lamb), DIAL D FOR DEMONS sees Tang trade in his usual sex and violence for style and tension, resulting in a more atmosphere-driven ghost story. Starring a cast of young and up-and-coming Hong Kong actors such as Jordan Chan (Bio-Zombie), Terence Yin (New Police Story), and Winnie Leung (The Deadly Camp), Vinegar Syndrome Archive is proud to present this rarely-seen supernatural tale on Blu-ray for the first time in the United States, newly and exclusively restored for this release.
