FEAR HAS A NEW FABRIC: SILK

There's a new Taiwanese horror movie coming out soon, it's got a big budget, it's at AFM and it features an all-star cast. It's name is...SILK.

Written and directed by Su Chao-pin, who wrote the Taiwanese hit horror film DOUBLE VISION and Peter Chan's segment "Going Home" from the first THREE movie, it stars Chang Chen (CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON), Karena Lam and Japanese actor, Yousuke Eguchi. The plot is about some scientists who manage to trap a ghost that's been suffocating people with silk. The flick is budgeted at US$5 million and finished shooting in August, and is now in post-production. It's had a low profile but you can read some of the standard-issue "our horror movie was haunted" stuff here.

By the by, if you haven't seen DOUBLE VISION and you like horror movies it's well worth your time until it goes off the rails at the very end. You can read a review here, and it's available on DVD and VCD all over the place. Heck, it even stars David Morse.
