Year: 2006
Plot: "After writing three best-sellers about love story based on her own experiences, the successful writer Tsui Ting-Yin is without inspiration and having difficulties to write her new novel in the horror genre entitled "Re-cycle". While drafting the text, spooky events happen at her apartment and her former boy-friend of eight years ago visits her, after his divorce. When Tsui sees a supernatural long-haired character of her book, she is trapped in his world of terror."
I found this movie to be quite great. The beginning of it starts off as a pretty typical horror movie with strange things happening in her house. The things is that the 'scary' stuff rather drops off after she enters the other world. There is scares still placed in this world, but it didn't even really seem eerie to me. I guess I was more intrigued by this other world than anything else.
I loved the idea about the forgotten, or abandoned. It was all really very interesting and really rather cool. This idea has been done in another way (can't remember where I seen it before), but I have rather liked the ideas.
The idea of the aborted babies is a little bit off for me. I understand it, but it just leads to a lot of arguments. It makes people argue about whether it is for or against abortion. I would have rather not opened up a forum post about this movie and seen nothing but 'abortion is bad' or 'I'm pro-choice'. It is just rather irritating when I am trying to find out more about the movie. That is pretty much the only issue I had, and it wasn't even really about the movie. I didn't see this movie as being 'Pro-Life'. I just seen it as someone going through a rather real situation and feelings.
I absolutely loved the ending to this. I know it was a bit confusing for some, but for me, it wasn't that hard to figure out. I loved that it really tied into the rest of the movie. It is one that if you really paid attention you will be able to understand the ending, even if you need a little help. I would be happy to help with that if anyone needs it.
I highly suggest this movie, though it wasn't scary. It is an entertaining movie with a really well done plot and idea. So if you want a straight horror movie, this one probably won't do. This movie will though be entertaining despite this so definitely watch it sometime.
