Great Suspense Flick - kav2001c
Finally released to North American markets. Good- They dropped the Hong Kong translated title (Mon Seung is a MASSIVE spoiler if you translate it directly, Diary is a much better title and fits the movie better). Bad- The cover is really cheap looking (again, the Chinese box art had MASSIVE spoilers, and I personally hated the give away on box art, but the puppet isnt really helpful and probably steers some viewers away from the film).
Its one of those oddball hits you don't expect when you first pop it into the player. Starring EEG Canto-pop stars Charlene Choi and Isabelle Leung you'd expect this film to be a stinker; and you'd be very wrong. Very well done atmospheric suspense film about a girl who has apparently been dumped by her boyfriend for no reason. She broods on this for a long time (its implied early on she has mental issues, she even goes so far as to decide he must have died), until she finds a new guy who looks a lot like him. She keeps on mixing up the two men, so one night she reads her diary and discovers...
Id strongly suggest you just watch this film first Reading too much about it beforehand will spoil it.
Also those viewers who recognize the name of the director will know there is a twist coming.
