Within the thriller genre, it is quite difficult to present the audience with a subject matter or story which is original as much has already been told. Even though that is the case few of its stories, as a film or as a novel, unfold in a way that manifests a true feeling of suspense without revealing its true motives and twists too early. Undeniably, considering its critical and commercial success, Japanese writer Yusuke Kishi has achieved such a rare accomplishment with his 1997 novel “The Black House”, which has been adapted into a movie three times already. The latest adaptation, directed by Hong Kong director Yuen Kim-wai, has been quite a commercial success in its own right given its success as the Chinese box office.
