Silk (2006) Taiwan
This is a terrible movie. Sci-fi / mystery / ghost horror mash up that serves each genre poorly. Something about a gravity-defying "Menger sponge" and a ghost boy with white eyes that you better not look at. And a silk thread, which I never did understand. The script is terrible. The SFX are laughable. Everything that could be remotely interesting happens off camera, as if they didn't have the budget to film it. Most of the scenes are close-ups of people looking pensive. Everything looked like a set, and even those scenes looked like they were filmed (poorly) in front of a green screen. This is grade-B crap that even USA Up All Night and Gilbert Gottfried would pass on. So would Joel and the bots. There's no way to even parody this.
The movie does star Chen Chang, who was the "desert warrior" in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. From my all-time favorite movie, to...this. Oh, Chen. Why???
The three Chinese chicks in the movie were cute and pretty, so there's my half star.
Utterly abysmal.
0.5 star
I don't ogle at man abs...I ogle at the lower part..........................................................the legs of course.
