„Spider Lilies”, the second feature by Taiwanese Zero Chou, upon its release in 2007 was an important and pioneering movie and gained a loyal audience, also outside the country in some conservative Asian societies. Moreover, the story tackling the new generation exploring its sexuality and identity through the internet was something fresh and new. Finding leads willing to star in a tale about female love was problematic, so the director was searching for actresses also outside Taiwan (and Hong Kong star Isabella Leong was cast). The director, a respected documentarian, and openly lesbian, whose debut feature focused on drag queens, became a significant representative of LGBT+ filmmakers, as her movies’ protagonists are mostly queer.

Rainie Yang and her pooch feel the terror in The Child's Eye.
The Child’s Eye, the fourth installment of the Hong Kong horror-thriller franchise The Eye that was launched by The Pang Brothers (Bangkok Dangerous) nearly a decade ago, is coming to DVD from Lionsgate on Oct. 11 for the list price of $26.98.
Just as they directed The Eye (2002), The Eye 2 (2004) and the bafflingly titled third film in the trilogy The Eye 10 (2005), The Pang Brothers (Oxide and Danny) are back behind the camera as the directors of 2010’s The Child’s Eye, which focuses on a group of friends who find themselves stranded in Thailand after unexpected airport closures.

As the group uncovers the history behind the hotel’s walls, they’re slowly drawn into its horrific past. And the more sinister,...

The MPAA just came back with ratings for several horror and thriller themed movies most notably Red State from Kevin Smith and The Howling Reborn. People who checked out the leaked trailer for The Howling Reborn compared it to The Twilight Saga. So was the werewolf action of this reboot watered down enough that it earned a PG-13 rating like the franchise that it evoked? Did Kevin Smith, who has had trouble with the MPAA in the past most famously for Clerks which originally earned an Nc-17 for language, run into trouble with the big bad old MPAA again? Here's the ratings the MPAA handed down on Boy Wonder, The Howling: Reborn, Red State and The Child's Eye.

As the craze continues to sweep cinemas across the globe, Hong Kong gets its first digital 3D film with “The Child’s Eye”, the latest in the long running horror series which began back in 2002 with “The Eye”. Appropriately enough, the film sees the return of original directors the Pang Brothers, who have since become well known for their cutting edge use of visual effects and techniques, as seen recently in their spectacular “Storm Warriors”. The film has a hip young cast, headlined by Taiwanese idol Rainie Yang (“Spider Lilies”), continuing to win more respect for her acting career, with support from Elanne Kong (“Rebellion”), Gordon Lam (“Infernal Affairs”), and Jo Koo (“The Detective”), and with Shawn Yue (“Love in a Puff”) in a guest role. The film is set back in the Pangs’ hometown of Bangkok, where Rainie (Rainie Yang), sulky boyfriend Lok (Shawn Yue) and two other couples...
