"Re-Cycle"
2006
Directed by Oxide & Danny Pang

Fans of MirrorMask and The Cell will relish this orgy of otherworldly visual effects from the Pang brothers (The Eye). In this horror-fantasy, a popular young author (Angelica Lee) tries to overcome her writer's block and finish her first horror novel assignment. However, as the stress mounts and her grip on reality begins to slip (think Repulsion), she is lured by a specter of her own creation into her unfinished netherworld. "Quite easily the strongest film from the directing duo since their breakout hit" (Twitchfilm.net). Winner of Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Visual Effects and Sound Design. Mandarin and Cantonese with English subtitles. 109 minutes.
