Introduction
A middle-aged man is possessed by a demonic spirit in a fish with a human-like face that he caught in a pond deep in the forest. He returns home and murders his wife and daughter, but appears to be in a state of disorientation. Even though the police launch an investigation immediately, they are completely clueless about where to start. With no better options, they seek out the help of Cheng, a temple exorcist.
Meanwhile, Chou Chia-Hao is a junior high school student who often hangs out in temples, and he hears about a microfilm competition at school. He decides to make a film with his classmates on the theme of temple culture in order to win the substantial prize money. They happen to come across the exorcism of the "human-faced fish" being performed by Cheng when they sneak into the temple. Curious, Chia-Hao decides to take home with him the small fish that Cheng threw out. This act unwittingly agitates his already mentally unstable mother and triggers an avalanche of horrifying events.
This work is adapted from the blockbuster film of the same name and draws inspiration from a well-known Taiwanese urban legend. It brings together a setting of traditional culture and a horror atmosphere, while centering around the themes of family relations and humanity, to deliver an intense and thought-provoking story.
