Twisted Love Gala Night + Review of Movie

Yup..the Gala Night for Twisted Love has just happened last thursday (19 April 2012)..
Thanks to Newskaki.com, Loong-updates.blogspot.com was given two invitations to attend the Gala Night..

Below are the pictures during the Gala Night..

The casts of the film arrived at 8.30pm and there's an interaction section with the fans before the movie starts.
All the casts and crew in this film are friendly and nice. The notable ones, Zhu Mi Mi and Mark Lee are indeed funny celebrities.
Part of the funny conversation that took place was when Mark Lee claimed that during the filming session, Lim Bing Bing has feeling towards him because " Girls will definitely have feeling when saw handsome guy", jokingly referring himself as the handsome guy. However, Zhu Mi Mi was doubting about this fact.
Later during the game session of Q&A, Zhu Mi Mi was self-admitting herself as a pretty girl. It's quite funny during the session as all the fans seem overjoyed with their personalities.

At 9.00pm, it's about time for the movie. One good remarks about this Gala Night was about the refreshment being served before the movie, all of the lucky people who were selected to attend the Gala Night were very satisfied with it.

Ok. So,basically the movie is comprised of 3 different stories. Since the movie is not in Cinema yet, so I won't talk much about the story as I don't want to leak out spoilers. However,the synopsis can be found in the previous post I have blogged last week :
http://loong-updates.blogspot.com/2012/04/new-movie-twisted-love-coming-up.html

I am gonna give the short and brief review about this movie:
First, about the overall presentation of this movie, it is a really SCARY movie. It has a lot of special effects that will chill your spine and make you horrified, one notable element is the sound effect. The Sound effect has effectively draw the audience into the atmosphere and the next amazing element is the scary film shot in this movie. A few of the scenes are well-shot that they really can cause you to have a palpitation.

Second, is about the theme of the story. This movie has been using a fresh theme that, "Human sometimes are even more scary than Ghost". This is depicted when there's a story about a girl who died in the hotel. There are two guys inside the hotel. They are trying to hide the girls's death and to prevent so, they have murdered anyone who are about to discover the death of the girl. This theme will trigger you to have new thoughts and fear that Human is actually much scarier than ghost.

Third, it's about the progress of the movie. The movie progresses well and some jokes were being placed intermittently throughout the movie as well to lighten the heart of the audience before letting them to enter into another roller coaster of horror again. Mark Lee and Zhu Mi Mi did play a good role in it.

Overall the movie is quite worth watching and the scary movie lovers will definitely have affection towards this movie.

Apart from the movie, the atmosphere during Gala Night is quite fun too because throughout the session of watching the movie, there were many laughters and screams as well.

Well,that's all for now, stay tuned my blog for more updates on this movie and also on other events updates.

Last but not least, million thanks to Newskaki for the invitation! :-)

New Movie: Twisted Love 撞鬼 coming up! ~ Synopsis

New Movie: Twisted Love 撞鬼 coming up in local theater soon on 26th April 2012!

TWISTED SYNOPSIS故事大纲

Alert to horror movie lovers! A new horror action comedy movie is haunting the cinema this coming April!

Twisted Love is the latest horror action comedy movie from Writer Director Chai Yee Wei. Just in case you haven’t know yet, Yee-wei Chai has written and directed several award winning short films over the past 4 years. One of his prominent masterpiece Lausai (Diarrhea) has won him a Merit! Award in the MDA Panasonic Digital Film Fiesta in 2005 Open Category. Loser won “Judges’ Pick” for Fly-By-Night 2005 and a few other awards at other country.

This movie features a lot of famous artists such as Mark Lee 李国煌,Candy Lim 林冰冰,Chu Mi Mi 朱咪咪, Linda Liao 廖語晴 .

Official Synopsis:

The story revolves around a drug dealer who dated a young girl behind the wife’s back, a pair of con men who wants to turn over a new leaf, and 4 cabin crews whose lives were turned upside down over a fateful night of drugs and booze.

The character Ah-Guan played by Mark Lee, is a non-typical drug dealer as usually depicted by Asian movies. Here, Mark plays a ruffian who is fashionable (at least he tries to be), flashy and a playboy. The first act of the film deals with how Mark tries to kill a girl, Lily(Candy Ice) by crashing his car into a rock, and how that had in turn had led to making a devil out of the girl. In the end Guan is being sentenced to death for being a drug peddlar and in fact the girl friend’s haunting had paved the way for the police to caught up with him.

In the 2nd act of the film, you see how Guan, had previously sold drugs to a cabin crew. The 2 cabin crew boys (Cavin and Randall) then attempted to spike the drinks of 2 other stewardesses (Linda and Tracy) in order to bed them. However, never would they have imagined that one stupid accident would lead to another. You see how a series of unfortunate events can turn on a person’s survival animalistic instincts. It shows how bad intentions can rear it’s ugly head and comes back to affect the cabin boys.

In the final act, story focuses on a twisted family tragedy. Fa, in the course of trying to normalize her own life and that of her daughter’s, killed her abusive husband. But in doing so, she unwittingly unleashed the spirit of the father who now possesses the daughter to create havoc. To resolve this situation, she enlists the help of 2 Chinese mediums but ends up complicating the issue even more.

And among these seemingly unrelated characters, their paths cross and somehow bad luck seems to transcend the characters that have all been “touched by evil”. Director Chai Yee Wei used Guan as a Singaporean (South East Asian) representation of a “modern devil” - often uncouth, yet funny and charming in his own way.

This is a story of individuals with fates intertwined and how their paths clash. A series of twisted events that is a study on cause and effect and how our actions affect the people around us.It summarises how a bad decision to hurt others can return to haunt and hurt you back and that one should always do good to others.
