"The Tenants Downstairs" Chinese Theatrical Poster
Hong Kong star Simon Yam (SPL II, Cross) is back in The Tenants Downstairs, an upcoming thriller by first-time director, Adam Tsuei. The film is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Giddens Ko (You Are the Apple of My Eye).
According to Variety, The Tenants Downstairs is a creepy fantasy involving a dangerous landlord (Yam), a gay tenant (Lee Kang-sheng) and a mysterious female lodger (Shao Yu-wei).
The novel is notorious for its shock-value, and the film’s producers say that they will not tone it down. With that said, don’t miss the film’s trailer (via AFS).
The Tenants Downstairs releases on August 2016.
So then it’s *not* a remake of Wes Craven’s The People Under the Stairs. =p
