    Hmmm, i read some comments on the movie's baidu forum and it seems that there are mixed opinions. Some people say the movie is trash, some ppl say its good, some say its average. So far, there isnt a general consensus. But i read what happened to YM's character already...Chen Kun's character is a nutcase i guess. The plot is pretty similar to another recently released HK pscycho horror film acted by Charlene Choi and Isabella Leong. Cant recall the title at the moment.

    so really, is it drama, a real horror flick, or comedy mixed with horror? man...chen kun's a nut case? that explains his facial expressions on the poster.

    ahh..poor yang mi. what happens to her char?

    It's a pscyho-thriller from the sound of the plot. YM plays a rape victim who is later killed.

    Spoilers:

    If im not wrong, the movie starts at the end with Chen Kun's character murdering his long-time girlfriend, played by Yang Mi and the story is unfolded by retracing back to the beginning. Chen Kun's character sounds like a schizophrenic patient who hallucinates alot because he suspects his girlfriend was raped by his enemy after she was kidnapped by the latter once. Some years later, CK's girlfriend (YM) is missing while one of CK's friends is murdered after visiting CK and the police suspect the killer is CK. CK later deduces that the person who killed his friend and kidnapped his girlfriend is an enemy of his. While confronting his enemy, the latter tells CK that he did not force himself onto YM because he doesnt use things which are already used by others, hinting that YM was raped not by him but by CK's good friend which was the one murdered..

    DVD of the movie is already released:

    Yes it is.

    The story-telling technique sounds vaguely like that of hollywood movie "Memento", Chinese movie "Koma" and Chinese movie "Hero", where the appearance vs reality theme captures the whole essence of the film and the truth is speculated through different accounts of the various characters. In this movie however, i think instead of varying accounts of different characters, it's mainly a conflict between Chen Kun's account vs the truth because he's hallucinating things which may not have happened but are played out in the movie.

    Although the style may be somewhat cliche, since there are already quite a couple of movies with this type of style, I think the plot sounds rather interesting; might get it when it comes out in stores here provided the scary/gory scenes are not too much, which i think is the case

    Well, they didn't seem to censor too much from the SAW movies.

    oh no! how can this be...despite the stupid sacrifice that yang mi made for the door, the movie has mixed reviews? i was hoping this would be her break through role to set her movie career in motion, but alas...ahh...my yang mi. well, it's nice to see her gain some meat on her face back. hoping that despite the mixed reviews, yang mi's performance is solid to garner more attention.

    oh...chen kun should consider doing a movie with gyy.

    i would like to see yang mi with a young hot co-star who can act too!

    Yea, hopefully she does well in "The Door". Her character sounds quite challenging.

    She looks somewhat different in her latest batch of pics. Is it me or did her eyes and facial shape change?

    base on those pix, i would have to agree with you that she looks different now. i prefer the yang mi of old with her more vibrant and lively eyes and fuller face. now in her pix, her smile seems more forced (i regret to say) and she just doesn't exude that cheerfulness and spunkiness which captured my attention from the beginning.

    i hope she gets well rested and we can finally see the return of the yang mi we adore...

    She looks kinda BAD in those pics. Could her make-up be the cause? Or maybe she went for some failed plastic surgery?
