The Matrimony - 2007 - 6/10
AKA - 心中有鬼
For many, title is dead giveaway.
Matrimony = Horror film.
Ghost story set in 1930’s Shanghai.
New wife receives orders from her chronically depressed husband: DO NOT venture into a locked room …
Quicker than she can say, “This door is creaky," she channels her inner Pandora.
Lush sets, understated acting, definitely a mood piece, but an old fashioned ghost story.
Main problem is ham fisted sound mix, with music and effects cranked to the max during spooky moments.
Otherwise, decent “Ooooo story.”
