Red Spell Spells Red (紅鬼仔)

The Church of St. Paul, built more than 400 years ago, is the most famous historical site in Malacca.

Once you step inside, you immediately feel its mysterious atmosphere.

Leaning on both sides are the tombstones of 28 Dutch missionaries and below lie their corpses.

In the center of this ruin is the tomb of archbishop, St. Francis Xavier.

Worshipers come from all over to toss coins against the tombs for good luck.

Rumor has it that a man once stole these coins, but he turned mad after

and drowned himself in the strait of Malacca.

The largest tomb is the most disturbing.

Located next to the church, it holds the bodies of seven people, including Mr. and Mrs. Evans and their five babies.

They all died of plague.

It's believed that when night falls,

the five children will crawl out of their grave, break into homes and kill people.

Maybe stab a sleeping man to death.

You should never say you don't believe in evil legends.

This is for you!

How did you get in?

You're so careless, you left the keys in the door!

Give it back!

Who pissed you off ?

Did you see the film you shot in Malacca?

The film? I saw it this morning. It's great!

Great?

Yeah, the scenery is great.

But I want supernatural films, not just films with scenery.

-It's irritating! -Come on, you're overreacting.

Now, have a drink!

What's this? You bought a new antique?

Give it back to me. You're so rough.

This gold Buddha is very precious.

I don't see anything special!

Nothing special? What do you know?

You only know how to shoot scenery and never do any research!

Okay, okay! What's so special about this Buddha?

What's so special about it?

There's a stone coffin in Malaysia where in 1919 there was a...

I know! There was a Red Dwarf Ghost!

I'm surprised you know this!

Of course, being with you so long, I've learned a little.

Oh, so you're showing off?

And, what's more,

I know how to lure a man.

Okay, stop it, we're flying to Malaysia tomorrow morning.

We?

I didn't say I was going.

What's wrong? Why don't you say anything?

You're being difficult again. Quit it or I'll fire you.

You wouldn't dare.

Hello?

Boss!

It's time to go to the airport.

We're here! Get out and grab the equipment! Don't leave anything behind.

-Hand me the tripod. -Here!

Be careful!

-Chai! -What?

Look at all the Taoist amulets on this tree! It looks evil!

Watch your words or you'll pay!

I think this is the place.

Stephen, it looks really scary down there.

Bullshit!

See, “Whoever Enters Dies”! We better not go!

There's nothing to be afraid of. Chai!

-Yes, boss? -You know the drill.

Yes boss, I got it. Ok!

Hung! Chow! Set up the equipment!

Ok!

No, you can't go down there.

Remember, pan slowly to the bulletin board.

Stella, get ready!

Camera!

We're outside the mysterious tomb of the Red Dwarf Ghost.

In 1919, a dwarf sorcerer

practiced some of the most evil sorcery down there!

He was later killed by four righteous sorcerers!

Before he died, he cast an evil spell, swearing to become a vengeful ghost.

Anyone who had touched, hurt or even made fun of him would die.

Cut!

OK'!

Stephen, anyone who hurt him would die? Isn't that a little extreme?

Stella, the book said, four righteous sorcerers all died after.

Boss, money won't work on him.

You can't even handle one small job.

Fine. I'll distract him, while you guys go down.

When you get down there, don't stop shooting and be sure to open the coffin.

Let's get ready.

-Hey Uncle! -What is it?

-How much to shoot down there? -No, money isn't the problem.

-Come on, please? -You can't go down!

-Let us go! -No, you can't! You can't!

It won't take long.

-It's dangerous! No! -Come on, help us out!

Hey! What are you doing? Get out of there!

Uncle, we're sorry! We're sorry!

Who said you can shoot down there? Pack up, we're leaving!

It's such a bummer we can't film anymore.

-Without him, everything would've been perfect! -Yeah.

-So what's next? -Work's over. Go find a woman.

Really?

Sir, are you going back to the city? Can you give me a ride?

-You're off so early? -Yeah, it's late. No one will work here at night.

-Really? Get in! -Thanks!

-Uncle, sit here! -Thank you! Pm so lucky I met you today!

Boss, be careful!

-Hand me the lantern. -Okay.

Wow, it's terrifying!

Stephen!

It's locked!

-Chai, break it open with something! -Alright.

-You're not afraid of the curse? -Why should I be?

I have to pee.

Piss off then!

Thanks, now I need to piss too.

Excuse me, I'm going to pee here.

-Hey, did you say excuse me? -Get in my way and I"ll pee on you!

Don't bullshit, you idiot!

You're the idiot!

Chai? Chai?

I'm taking a piss here!

The stone coffin is here.

-Come in, and bring the equipment. -Okay.

It's freezing cold in here!

This place is huge!

It's evil!

Stop scaring me!

Cut the bullshit!

Set up the equipment!

-I'm scared. -There's nothing to fear.

-Chai, help me open the coffin! -Okay.

Lights on!

Attention everyone!

No matter what happens, keep the camera rolling. Don't ever stop.

-Got it! -Got it!

Keep filming! Keep filming!

Go! Go! Closer! Closer! Closer!

A little closer!

A little closer! A little closer! Closer!

A little closer! Closer! Closer!

Push in slowly! Get a clear shot!

Action!

The mysterious stone coffin is open and the flesh of the Red Dwarf Sorcerer has vaporized into a red smoke.

Only his skeleton remains inside the coffin now.

Ok, at last, I finally got it. We can pack up and go!

Stella, I'll go back to Hong Kong tomorrow.

I'll launch a press tour with our incredible footage! It'll be big!

What about me?

You go to the longhouse in Borneo.

Take everyone on holiday for two weeks, and shoot some good footage as well.

This is a tributary of the Le yang River!

The river runs fast and fish are common, so boats often get overturned.

You can see longhouses on both sides. You've actually come at the right time,

the Iban natives are celebrating their new year and they're excited about it.

Each longhouse is decorated with colorful flags and filled with bamboo flowers!

Once the bamboo flute is blown, the ceremony begins.

Gongs and drums echo in the sky and it becomes quite festive!

Some follow the monotonous music and do a primitive dance.

How fun it is!

But don't be fooled by their smiles, their ancestors were all cannibals.

They once decapitated people and poured their homemade wine into the skulls to drink with the blood.

How terrifying!

When finished, they dried the heads under the sun and hung them on their doors as decoration.

Isn't it horrible?

Bowls line the floor for their New Year's party. Offerings include wild boar meat, eggs and rice.

Each longhouse is about 300 yards long, housing up to 30 families.

It's a primitive life. Things like exorcisms and spells happen here.

Things beyond evil and your wildest imagination can happen at any time.

For New Year's, sorcerers visit families to help expel evil spirits or demons.

Just like what Taoist priests and monks do for you.

So, we must be careful!

Hey! The Master of the longhouse has lined up his most beautiful girls for you!

Welcome!

Be careful.

This is the house master, Dairoma.

-Hello. -Hello, Dairoma!

-This is my wife. -Hello!

Hello!

My son, Rumbang.

-Hello. -Hello.

-These Iban girls are beautiful. -Yes!

Trial marriage is very popular here.

I heard you can try for three nights. If you're not satisfied with one girl, try another!

It's best to try them all.

-Could you even handle that? -Of course!

-And don't worry, there's no herpes here. -Really?

Seriously? Behave yourselves!

Blessing guests with a chicken is a welcoming ritual.

In this honorable ceremony, the master will give you a spear.

Me?

And you'll kill a wild boar, symbolizing the death of the plague God.

And this act will bring you good luck forever!

If a woman offers flowers and a drink, you must accept or she'll be unhappy.

Thank you!

This way.

This dance is to welcome honorable guests.

If they invite you to dance, you must accept.

They dance very well!

Hey! Miss!

Thank you!

-Good morning! -Good morning!

Amei!

Huh? Boss!

You said you'd be a week, but you're back so soon!
