New horror film "Pretty" is good to look at thanks to 19-year-old director Metecan Duren.
The Blind Reaper
Gu Bei, a blind beggar, witnesses a horrific massacre—an entire town and a wealthy family brutally slaughtered. Moved by the kindness of Lan Qiuyao, the young heiress who once gave him a bowl of rice, he sets out to uncover the truth behind the tragedy. However, the real culprit, Nan Zhulang, attempts to silence him by force. When Lan Qiuyao is brutally murdered, the fire long dormant in Gu Bei’s heart ignites once more. He sheds his humble guise and returns as the legendary killing god of the battlefield—"Ye Bu Shou" (The Unyielding Reaper). With his unmatched skills and unshakable sense of justice, he seeks vengeance for the slaughtered townspeople of Qing Shi and the thirty members of the Lan family, delivering bloody retribution to those who deserve it.
