Over My Dead Body (Chinese: 死屍死時四十四) is a 2023 Hong Kong black comedy film directed by Ho Cheuk Tin and co-written by Amy Chin and Kong Ho Yan. Starring Teresa Mo, Ronald Cheng, Wong You-nam, Jennifer Yu, Edan Lui, Yeung Wai Lun, Lau Kong, and Bonnie Wong, the film revolves around a group of apartment residents trying to dispose of a mysterious corpse that has appeared on their floor to prevent their homes from becoming stigmatized properties and losing value.
The screenplay began development in March 2019 and was greenlit in October 2021, with Ho Cheuk Tin joining the project that same year, marking his second feature film after The Sparring Partner (2022). Filming commenced in May 2022 and wrapped in June, primarily taking place in Tai Wai, Sha Tin District.
The film had its world premiere as the closing film of the 18th Osaka Film Festival on 15 March 2023, followed by a theatrical release in Hong Kong on 4 April. It received two nominations in the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards, with Jiro Lee nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
