Produced by Teddy Chen (Bodyguards and Assassins), Hong Kong supernatural thriller Dead Air marks the feature directorial debut of Xavier Lee (documentary Jackie Chan: My Stunts) and the first lead role for AV actor Derek Tsang. The chiller lines up a B-list but nonetheless interesting cast that also includes Leila Tong (A Very Short Life), Terence Yin (Fear Factors), Raymond Wong (Scare 2 Die), Jo Kuk (Visible Secret), Wayne Lai (Nightmare Zone), and Susan Tse (The Haunted School).
TV producer Rock (Derek Tsang) is in dire need of a hit program when he encounters the ghost of the pregnant Tincy (Leila Tong) who is just murdered by a robber. Rock gives her a hand in delivering the still-alive baby in her dead body. To return his favor, Tincy helps him create a reality game show in which the contestants perform all kinds of suicidal stunts. The show proves to be a sensational hit, breaking all ratings records. But Rock is yet to realize the true motive of his ghostly benefactor...
