Garden of an Angry God: when the nightmare of guilt crawls out to the daily life
The repeated actions, the blood on the petals, the rustling under the floor…An ambient short horror film takes us into another realm.
The Second Woman
One suspects writer-director Carol Lai may have harboured some Black Swan ambitions with a tale that also centers around a stage practitioner who embarks on an unwitting destructive journey when playing a role to die for. The Second Woman, whose Chinese title Romance Riddle may hold better clues as to how this film developed, being more of a guessing game that threw constant clues rather than a overly romantic film about twins falling in love with a man who decided it's perfectly OK to string both women along, until he discovers that this spells double trouble.
