Maang Lui 72 Siu Si

Found Maang lui 72 siu si which had a bunch of English titles which were pretty shit so I went with it's original title. Basically a stalker movie with the victim being a temporarily blind woman (Veronica Yip) who is left in the care of their maid by her doctor husband for 3 days (the 72 hours of the title) when a man claiming to be an old school friend (Anthony Wong) of her husband's worms his way into the house and won't leave and then he does leave but comes back and that's when the terror starts. It's takes a while before we find out why the stalker is terrorising the woman but when it becomes clear there's a little sympathy for the stalker but the woman isn't having it and she won't go down without a fight. OK movie, not without a bit of silliness which suggests that the movie could've been a comedy but turns dramatic very quickly and never goes back making the movie is better for it. Reminds me quite a bit of the Australian cult B-movie Lady, Stay Dead where a hapless stalker gets himself in deeper with every move he makes although Anthony Wong's stalker is a lot less hapless after his intentions are made clear. Get the feeling the shower scene is what this movie is best known for, a slick bit of sleazy comedy mixed with tension that signals a change in tone for the movie. All in all, a lot better than I was expecting thanks to its two leads and a story that gets better the longer it goes.
