I met up with Huiling to catch this movie, "Painted Skin". I was feeling gulity though as she wasn't feeling well and yet she still turn up to catch this movie with me. She told me it was gastric pain but still..., I felt pretty worried for her cause if it's not handle properly, things could still get nasty. Hope she'll get well soon. *smiles*


Painted Skin (1)

"Painted Skin" is a thriller centering on a vampire-like woman who eats the skin and hearts of her victims. The film is adapted from the ancient novel "Liaozhai Zhiyi," or "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio," written by Pu Songling during the Qing Dynasty.


Painted Skin (2)

The actresses Zhou Xun and Vicky Zhao has an eerie feel. Zhou, who plays a fox sprite, appears in the photo as a human, while white-headed Vicky Zhao weeps tears of blood.


Painted Skin (3)

Terror strikes a town when people start turning up dead with their heart ripped out clean. Suspicion centres around a mysterious woman named Xiao Wei (Zhou Xun) who was taken in by army general Wong (Chen Kun).


Painted Skin (4)

Soon, his wife Pei Rong (Vicki Zhao Wei) and his one-time close ally Pang Long (Donnie Yen) realise that she is indeed an evil jinn-like demon who has fallen in love with the general. Seeking to expose the demonic seductress, they realise that it can all only end in conquering love and hate through wisdom and sacrifice.


Painted Skin (5)

A pretty cool movie I must say. Based on the story, scene, graphic I think they deserve a 3.5 star out of 5. But if you were to catch this movies on a weekdays before 5pm at the price of 6 bucks then I believe it should deserve 4 star out of 5. *hee*
