Since 1981's "Murder List", the Hong Kong film industry has been popular with haunted horror films in buildings, such as Liu Zhenwei's "Fierce Ghost Building" and "Night of the Ghost", and the last story of "Yin Yang Road 5 First Sight and Fortune", all of which use the building as the main haunting place.
Released in 2002, "Office Has a Ghost" puts the story of the entire film in the middle of a building, telling the story of a very evil office building in Hong Kong, which is said to kill 9 people every year, but even so, the number of people who come to work here is still endless.

The first story tells that the newcomer to the workplace played by Karen Mok came to work at the company on the first day, and he heard his colleagues talking about the supernatural rumors about the building. Due to the needs of work, Karen Mok often works overtime alone in the middle of the night, whether she is pouring water, copying documents, or going to the bathroom, she can always encounter supernatural events. As two female colleagues commit suicide in the office, Karen Mok falls into a deeper fear, and soon the story ends with her suicide by jumping off a building after hitting a ghost.
The second story tells that Richard, a rich second generation played by Chen Xiaochun, takes over his father's financial company, and in order to save the huge pension of his old employee Roland, Chen Xiaochun ruthlessly dismisses her and orders her to work as a maid in his home.
After Chen Xiaochun returned from a trip abroad, he found that five employees, including Luo Lanjie, had died in a car accident a few days ago, so he hurried to ask the master of the Jingdao Technique for help. Here is also a popular science method introduced in "Night of the Returning Soul": wiping the tears of the cow can see the dead.
The third paragraph is Shu Qi and Feng Delun's "fierce ghost love story". Like Xu Anhua's "Ghost In the World", Shu Qi is also beautiful and mysterious in this film. On the day That Karen Mok jumped downstairs, Feng Delun met two women at the elevator entrance, one was the white-haired woman mentioned earlier, and the other was Shu Qi, who was dressed in red and had a delicate face.
After all, this is an era of looking at faces, and Xiao Feng decisively chose to walk into Shu Qi's elevator. Later, Shu Qi lied that the white-haired woman was actually a ghost and wanted to ask for her life, Xiao Feng fell down the stairs in order to protect her unfortunately, and everyone suddenly realized that the white-haired woman was an angel who saved people's lives, and Shu Qi, who was dressed in red, was the real ghost who asked for her life.
There are three directors in this film, namely Mai Zishan, Liu Baoxian, and Wang Jing, who is pseudonymous "not a woman", one of them directs a story, and the signed screenwriter is only Wang Jing. Overall, the office ghost rumor filmed by "Office Has a Ghost" under a limited budget is still a novel angle, coupled with a moderate reversal, and even a little brain-burning feeling.
Later, Wang Jing and Ye Nianchen co-directed a "Fierce Ghost Love Story", although there are similar reversal plots, but the overall quality is far less than this "Office Has Ghosts". After all, the film reinforces the speechless truth that elevators and toilets are still the scariest places in the world.
