SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Its volatile blend of paranoia, black comedy and science-fiction strangeness matches the Hong Kong film’s willingness to make bizarre events funny, unsettling and emotionally unpredictable.
02
Why this pick
A nocturnal small-town mystery with an intimate, gradually tightening sense of cosmic wrongness; it shares the pleasure of following regular people piecing together an impossible disruption.
03
Why this pick
This energetic Japanese horror-comedy similarly starts with apparent chaos and lets its ensemble-based oddity develop into something far more inventive, while keeping its surprises intact.
04
Why this pick
It shares the unnerving premise of everyday travellers abruptly trapped in a reality that no longer follows normal rules, with tension built through confusion, repetition and human friction.
05
Why this pick
For the playful side of The Midnight After, this compact sci-fi puzzle uses a likable group, escalating logistical absurdity and clever low-key invention instead of spectacle.

01 / THE STORY
Seventeen people board a Hong Kong minibus going from Mong Kok to Tai Po: driver Suet; Yau Tsi-chi and Yuki, who are visiting their respective dates; Fat, an aging gangster; Mook Sau-ying, a fortune-telling insurance salesperson; Shun, a computer technician; Pat and Bobby, a married couple; Blind Fai, a drug addict; Auyeung Wai, a music store salesperson; Lavina, a quiet, buck-toothed woman; Airplane and Glu-Stick, rowdy boys; and university students Tsing, Peter, Dawg, and Hung. As the minibus enters a tunnel, Fat notices the traffic seemingly disappear, and several other passengers remark upon how quiet the streets have become. The university students leave on the first stop, and one immediately becomes ill.
