Re-Cycle

The latest edition of ghost story from the Pang brothers. You may (or may not) know them as the guys that directed "The Eye". NO, not the crappy Jessica Alba re-make, the original, terrifying film. Re-Cycle definitely holds up to the Pang brother's reputation.

This film follows successful novelist Ting-Yin who, after having done incredibly well with her last three love novels is now experiencing a case of writer's block. She wishes to write a horror novel, that's when odd things begin to happen. She finds long strands of hair that are not hers (very common in Asian horror. I don't know what it is about hair that freaks them out so much), she receives odd phone calls where the other line is filled with static and weird noises. As the odd experiences keep occurring she wishes that she had never said that she wished for a supernatural experience.

One day after leaving her apartment she steps foot onto a street that she has never been to in her entire life. The buildings are decayed and defunct and at the end of the street there is a giant drop off to nowhere. She finds out that she is in fact in another dimension where all things that are forgotten survive...including the dead.

This film offers amazing visual effects, and a very creepy look at where we will be should we not take action to remedy the problems of today.

Odd things in the film that I think are pretty kick ass...

Hanging zombies:



Giant foetus monster:


Library of forgotten books:


Land where the grass has no roots:


Some creepy lady and her army of the dead:


And of course her messed up face:


This movie is so amazing. I highly recommend you all watch this...yes, it is in Mandarin.
