Review
by Kozo: |
Suprisingly
effective nailbiter starring Veronica Yip as a woman who's
temporarily blind for three days. Also, her husband is currently
out of town, which is the perfect opportunity for creepy stranger
Anthony Wong to invade Yip's home and terrorize her. Yip must
fight back in whatever way she can, but hey, she's blind.
And worse, Wong's motivations may be more than just a random
housecall.
This sometimes harrowing thriller
is quite possibly the Hong Kong version of Wait Until Dark,
except Veronica Yip is no Audrey Hepburn. At the same time,
Yip has shown she can act, and here she transcends her previous
Category III roots by taking on this exploitative, but meaty
role. She's effective and believable as a blind woman, and
she gives the part a depth which might have otherwise been
missing. Anthony Wong matches her with one of his patented
deranged turns, but his performance never overshadows the
film or the characters. That, plus some genuinely edgy sequences
and a consistent, gripping tone make this flick better than
its exploitation trappings. (Kozo 1997) |
