妄想
I have always liked Pang Brother's work. But i gather, their strength still lies in Horror. I recall 死亡日记 few years ago, starring 2R. This in equivalent, was just as bad. The acting from the main cast was mediocre. The only person who i thought stood out, was Isabella 梁洛诗, which i propose, should swop roles with Charlene Choi. The girl next door from Twins can act, but lacks the depth to be mind challenged. And yes, 余文乐 was just a redundant character. Other than the minimal visual effects and artistic framing of shots, this movie was not intriguing at all. Sorry.

This is such a good movie. I watched the previous installment 双瞳 from the same writer. This movie proves to be a successful follow up from him with even more involvement in the production.Working with very good cast and a provocative strong story line, it captures the audience's every attention. Not a dull moment at all. The visual effects are very good too. There are also sentimental moments that will tinkle a tear or two. A perfect winning combination of everything i guess.
This is not exactly a horror movie. But rather like the chinese version of X-files. Excellent acting from all the actors and actresses in the movie except the parts where 江口洋介 tries to speak Mandarin, and also when 万芳 crawls like a cockroach.
I really hope this movie will break into the Hollywood scene by itself with no english adaptation as it is already VERY good. MUST watch!
