Horror movies directed by Cheng Wei-hao

How Marry My Dead Body scares: Watching this feels more like a buddy comedy with a ghost sidekick than anything close to real horror. The mood stays light and playful, mixing crime-solving banter with warm, funny moments between its two leads. Any spooky elements are used for laughs or heart rather than scares, so tension never really builds into dread. It's a good pick if you want humor and a heartfelt story with just a sprinkle of supernatural flavor, not something that will actually scare you.

How The Soul scares: There's a heavy, uneasy weight to this one, like watching a family unravel a secret that keeps getting stranger the closer you look. It moves slowly and moodily, more like a mystery drama than a horror movie, letting dread build through suspicious looks and half-answers rather than shocks. The fear here comes from creeping unease about identity and what's really going on inside people you thought you knew, not from chases or blood. It's a good pick if you like your horror quiet, sad, and thought-provoking rather than loud or gory.

How The Tag-Along scares: It opens like a quiet family drama, following worried relatives trying to piece together what happened to someone who vanished, and only slowly lets the dread creep in from the edges of the frame. The pace stays patient for long stretches, favoring unsettling images and a sense of being watched over sudden shocks, though it does deliver a few well-placed jolts once the story tightens its grip. The fear here is rooted in old folklore and superstition, so it feels eerie and sad rather than gory or violent. It's a good pick if you like ghost stories that build slowly and leave you a little uneasy afterward rather than just jumpy.
