Dead Air (Chinese: 鬼计; pinyin: "Gwai gai") is a Horror film from Hong Kong released in 2008. It is Xavier Lee's directorial debut as well as Derek Tsang's first time in a lead role.

Reception

According to John Li from MovieXclusive, the B grade film explores a range of intriguing themes, but ultimately becomes convoluted in its execution.[1]

AsianMovieWeb too was critical of the film.[2] Various Chinese sources commented on the presence of Leila Tong (aka Tang Nin) in the cast, for her first role in a ghost film.[3][4][5]
