I haven't seen all that many Pang Brothers films, but apart from "The Eye" there haven't been any that were worth bothering with. I was pleasantly surprised by how good "Re-Cycle" was, although it starts out in a rather routine manner....ooh, here we go with the spooky Asian black hair thing again. But it suddenly takes off into another dimension (literally) and is fascinating from that point on.
A writer is having trouble with her new book (called, strangely enough, Re-Cycle) and she begins to experience some rather odd things after a press conference in which she said "she'd never seen a ghost but would like to". She finds herself in a dimension meant only for "the abandoned", which means the forgotten people, promises not kept or just forgotten, old toys, etc., even aborted fetuses. Hmm. She befriends a little girl who has no name and the little girl helps her to find her way back to her world, where she belongs, but of course, not without some difficulties.
There's a rather unexpected twist ending to this too, one which I didn't see coming but it was rather appropriate.
This is more fantasy than horror although despite that, it still manages to be fairly eerie & creepy. I thoroughly enjoyed this & would recommend it. 7 out of 10.
