Sum yuen (Forest Of Death)

Sum yuen (2007)
Dir: Danny Pang

A police detective investigates a murder that took place in a mysterious forest.
Strange film that mixes a few too many genres for it's own good. The acting is solid and the story is intriguing, even if it doesn't seem sure what message it's trying to convey. Pang's films are usually a treat for the senses, but here his stylistic flair is all too rarely present and the film fails to get under your skin.
