She still wants to be a beauty queen, so she joins a male pageant because she’s in a dude’s body. Back home, only Zhen Zhen’s buddies (Jesseca Liu and Jeremy Chan) can recognise her in Pong’s body. When things get a little screwy (after some off-screen necrophilia action involving Constance Song), Zhen Zhen enters Pong’s body and together they return to Singapore. Their Magic Mike moves controlled by the aforesaid priest. As per rom-com (in this case, more like rot-com) guidelines, the undead and the spook meet cute (kinda) at a male strip club, where Pong and his zombie pals entertain the local aunties. Oh, oh.Īnd there’s Zhen Zhen (Ferlyn G), a beauty pageant contestant who becomes a ghost after drowning in a river near Pong’s village. The inane scene requires Hartono to be half naked, covered in gold paint, and keep still, like them creepy street performers. Turns out he’s been turned into a zombie by a Taoist priest (Gurmit Singh), who displays him as a statue. His body, however, remains rot-free, unscathed by time. We meet Pong (Nathan Hartono), a strapping hunk who died eons ago in a flood. The story starts out in an identikit village in Thailand. I thought Jack Neo’s Killer Not Stupid was awful.
It’s really a horror flick, and it’s scary for all the wrong reasons.
And if you’re expecting When Ghost Meets Zombie to be a rom-com, because it’s sold as such, be warned: it isn’t.
SLAPDASH RECIPE MOVIE
But if you aren’t one of them, When Ghost Meets Zombie isn’t the movie for you. Plenty of people would love to see Nathan Hartono shirtless, singing and dancing. Starring Nathan Hartono, Ferlyn G, Gurmit Singh
