Re-Cycle

Hong Kong w/d Pang Brothers

Failed attempt at a horror film. Elaborate CGI throughout couldn't disguise the lameness of the idea driving the story. An author wrestling with a new novel is forced to travel through a frightening land of her discarded ideas. This theme has been done much better in The Mystery of Rampo.

Lots of imaginative visuals/props, overdone big sound, heroine who hardly speaks...just looks frightened or bewildered. It wasn't a story that pulled me in...it just sort of went by and eventually bored me. Kicker twist at the end but tl-tl.
