Consensus: Respected director Chen Kaige's first English-language film is a spectacularly misguided erotic thriller, with ludicrous plot twists and cringe-worthy dialogue.

Runtime: 1 hr 40 mins

Genre: Horror/Suspense

With smoldering good looks and an element of danger surrounding her, this stranger provides Alice with a sexual satisfaction she has never experienced before. When word of a serial killer reaches Alice, she suspects her mysterious lover of holding the knife. This elliptical, steamy thriller is directed by Chen Kaige (FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE) and boasts bold love scenes between the two leads. [More]
