SynopsisSun Boy?z member Steven Cheung sheds his bandmates to take on a starring role in Yes, I Can See Dead People , a teen horror film about that age-old movie problem: seeing ghosts.

Though the concept of ?seeing ghosts? has long been overused, Yes, I See Dead People manages to separate itself from similar genre entries, managing a fine balance between creepy horror and knowing comedy. Steven Cheung departs from his usual sidekick roles to play the hero, and is joined by Kris Gu (The Eye 10), screen veteran Lau Kong, and fellow EEG singer Mandy Chiang.Steven Cheung is Nam, a slacker who has the power to see dead people - and he seems to be pretty okay with it.
