That Demon Within 2014

In an extraordinary turn of events, Dave Wong (Daniel Wu), a reclusive and resilient lawman, finds himself unexpectedly linked to Hon Kong (Nick Cheung), the merciless head of a criminal syndicate, when he donates his blood to save the feared gangster’s life. The shadowy villains, cloaked in traditional demon masks, carry out their violent acts with chilling precision. As the grip of madness tightens around Dave, he becomes enmeshed in a lethal game of chase with the gang, setting off a power struggle that spirals into devastating repercussions for everyone involved.

Yet, beneath the tumult lies a complex tapestry of emotional turmoil and haunting memories stemming from Dave’s troubled upbringing. Raised in harsh conditions with a frantic father unable to shield him from the world’s cruelties, Dave’s childhood was marred by neglect. The tragic passing of his father, caused by the heartless actions of a police officer who bore a disturbing resemblance to Hon Kong, plunged young Dave into a maelstrom of rage and deep-seated guilt.

In the years that followed, a rash decision by Dave to seek vengeance against those he believed were responsible for his father’s tragic end only deepened his psychological scars, leading him into a downward spiral of despair. However, that fateful moment when he saved Hon Kong’s life ignites a flicker of hope and serves as a powerful catalyst for Dave, pushing him to confront the long-buried traumas from his past. He is presented with a crucial chance for redemption, compelling him to face the inner darkness that has plagued him and to seek forgiveness for the errors of his past. In an ultimate quest for atonement, Dave must find the strength to battle his inner demons while grappling with his own life’s fragility and the heavy burden of unresolved conflicts.
