Rating:★★★

Genre: Romance
i just watched this movie today.. . its talking about how a 狐狸精try to get attention from a guy who she love very much. Its all about love....long time didnt watch such a topic movie.. quite different!

From the director, Gordon Chan who brought us movie like The Medallion and Action Director, Stephen Tung who is behind the incredible action sequences in movies such as Battle of Wits, Seven Words, Accidental Spy and Hero, comes a story of Painted Skin. Painted Skin, one of the of the spookiest and chilling ghost stories from the famous supernatural-themed short stories collection Strange Tales of Liaozhai by Pu Songling (1640-1715), a renowned writer of the Qing Dynasty. It is a series of captivating and colorful stories where the boundary between reality and the odd or fantastic is blurred. The cast of characters include vixen spirits, ghosts, scholars, court officials, Taoist exorcists and beasts. Moral purposes are often inverted between humans and the supposedly degenerate ghosts or spirits, resulting in a satirical edge to some of the stories.

“Painted Skin” is an action-thriller centered on a vampire-like woman who eats the skins and hearts of her lovers. It is a story that brings audiences into the world of wild imagination about spirits and ghosts, but also explore the realities of human nature and morality at the same time. This is the first time in China that a film based on a supernatural theme with ghostly elements that has been approved by SARFT for production. Painted Skin assembles a tremendous cast from superstar Donnie Yen (Flash Point, Dragon Tiger Gate) to Asia stars; Zhou Xun (Perhaps Love, The Banquet), Zhao Wei (So Close) and rising China’s actor Chen Kun.
