Original
Hong Kong/Malaysian title SHUANG HUN [Twin Souls]
director:
Ryon Lee
starring: Michelle Wai · Alex Lam (Alex Tak-Shun Lam) · Anna Ng · Richard
Ng · Cheung Ka-Lun
With
no one to talk to, a woman turns to a strange doll for help in dealing
with her bullies. When the brutes turn up dead, she fears the doll is
responsible. Specifically, this is the story of bespectacled garment factory
worker named Sam who has recently moved into a haunted apartment with
her mother. Sam is obsessed with the memory of her stillborn son, an alcoholic
abusive father, plus a group of people from work who bully her. She is
followed
around by the ghost of a little girl, which Sam somehow believes to be
her long-dead sister. After getting raped by her boss, she seems to enact
bloody revenge - through supernatural circumstances - against everyone
who wronged her.
Please
note: The film has a disturbing bit violence, including some [presumably
fake] violence against animals. Sensitive viewers should stay away.
The director
is Lyon Lee, a Malaysian scriptwriter, often cited as the most successful
scripter EVER in that country. While he has penned
a variety of movies, his specialty is horror (including the recent BUYER
BEWARE). His debut as a director came with HAUNTED
HOTEL in 2017.
