The Fruit Chan Gor written and directed, Wong Yau Nam, Tai Bo, Loletta Lee Lai Chun and Susan Shaw Yam Yam starred film COFFIN HOMES (GWAI TUNG NEI JU)'s final trailer has been revealed. Like its previous trailer, some scenes were too horrifying or bloody to pass the film censors and must be covered up for general public broadcast.

Chan Gor continued to mischievous child nature, playing with bloody horror, satirical humor to criticize the Hong Kong property market absurdity with ghost stories and thoroughly displayed the theme of "Is living with ghosts horrifying? Or is being homeless horrifying?" The trailer had many golden quotes, like "You would die before Hong Kong real estate dies." "The greatest part of Hong Kong laws is that it can be changed back and forth." Playing the heartless property owner who turned a haunted house into 10 rooms to rent out, Tai Bo felt that Hong Kong had homes without people and people without home. "The Pearl of the Orient? More like the Pig." He also stated, "Hong Kong people are more afraid of having no place to live in than ghosts."
