"You dumped us here."

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is very clearly a pro-life film; it smacks you in the face with that message several times. There's nothing subtle about it. But according to the Pang Brothers, "that just happens to be one of the topics in the movie. We are not out to say if abortion is right or wrong." Then why make it the overriding theme of the movie?

The story involves an author with a bad case of writer's block who feels the stress deeply when her dopey agent announces her next book will deal with the supernatural and it's called Re-cycle. Talk about pressure. Now she has to actually write the darn book. It doesn't help that her ex-boyfriend (a married man) shows up after eight years to say he's finally divorced, let's pick up where we left off. Unfortunately, she can't do that as she did something eight years ago (out of spite) and now he's just a reminder of that one decision. Cue spooky elements consisting of stray hair (she knows it's not her hair that she keeps finding around her apartment......at that rate she'd soon be bald!), weird sound effects, belligerent phone calls that are nothing but angry noises, the sense that she is not alone.....well, there is that shadowy person loitering about. Then her garbage moves, there's a paper trail, a light in the night sky, persistent wind, and finally a faulty elevator. Before you can say BOO, she's in a strange place (a cross between Wonderland and Oz on a bad day). After that, it's all about the FX and funky imagery. A lot of it would be exceptional but for the lack of light (most of these strange scenes take place in gloom of day). It's next to impossible to appreciate artistry when it can't be seen properly. Someone also went a little crazy with the filters, color coding some of the places she's forced to wander through.

I've watched this movie twice. Don't care much for the story but the creativity involved is impossible to ignore. I wanted to love it but I can't.

More Pang for your buck!

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2016

Verified Purchase

A beautifully shot and wonderfully acted creation from the Pang Brothers, Re-Cycle more than delivers on the promise. I thought it was much like Mirrormask, in that it featured a tortured psyche being plunged into an alternative reality in order to deal with a personal trauma. Or perhaps Suckerpunch. Angelica Lee as the lead brings cool command as an author embarking on a novel centering on the supernatural. This occurs at the same time as a lover returns after his mariage to another woman. We find out at the end why this is so wrenching for her. The notion that writing about spirits can bring them into existence is also explored. There are real scares and great special effects to keep your eyes glued to the screen, as well. Rarely can you purchase a movie that surpasses the trailer in every way. Unless you're simply a one-dimensional slasher addict, I think any horror fan would respect a film that adds depth to the genre.

Where lost things go

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2009

Verified Purchase

Imagine a dimension where all things that have been discarded and abandoned go -- broken toys, unwanted babies, the forgotten elderly, even fictional characters who never made the cut.

After a run of relatively disappointing movies, Danny and Oxide Pang return with a vengeance in "Re-Cycle," a hauntingly vivid journey that sends Angelica Lee into such a world. This is not your typical Asian horror movie with ripoffs of "The Ring" -- this is a dark fantasy journey into a ghastly, bittersweet otherworld full of secrets and lost things, like a Lewis Carroll horror story.

Ting-Yin (Lee) is a bestselling author riding high with her "My Love" trilogy, which is being adapted into a movie. Her next book, a horror novel named "Re-Cycle," is announced as well.

All seems perfect, save for an ex-boyfriend (Lawrence Chou) who has just divorced his wife and wants back. And when Ting-Yin starts writing "Re-Cycle," she starts glimpsing a strange long-haired woman in her apartment -- and ends up inadvertently wandering into a desolate, ruined city full of zombies, stairs, creaking carnivals and masked children. It's a dimension of the discarded, and it stretches through nightmarish forests, cities, fields and decaying bridges filled with witchlight.

When she's attacked by ghouls, Ting-Yin is rescued by a little girl who offers to help her get back home. After consulting with an old man in a vast library, Ting-Yin is told that she must find the Transit that leads back to her world. But Ting-Yin and the little girl Ting-Yu -- who seems strangely familiar to her -- are being pursued by a strange faceless woman, who is determined to keep Ting-Yin there forever

"Re-Cycle" is a very different movie from anything the Pang Brothers have done before -- it's fantasy rather than straight horror, and more in the vein of a grimier "Mirrormask" or a more horrific "Pan's Labyrinth." You could even consider it a sort of nightmarish "Alice in Wonderland," if Notsowonderland were populated by zombies, ghouls, fetuses and the occasional weird little old man.

For the first twenty minutes, "Re-Cycle" looks pretty much like a standard Asian horror movie, with a black-haired woman darting around in the shadows and lots of weird occurrences. But when Ting-Yin wanders into this other world, suddenly things become pure dark fantasy, and this rather generic character blossoms as she becomes close to little Ting-Yu.

And the Pangs' direction is pretty brilliant. They flood the skies with strangely coloured light, and give the fields and cities a mummified, dead feeling. There's not a lot of dialogue in this movie, which makes the vivid imagery all the more important -- we travel from a land of crumbling buildings and grotesque forests to sunny fields and floating mountains. It's poisonous, yet somehow still beautiful.

Yet there are also moments of whimsy, such as Ting-Yu riding in to the rescue on a giant toy horse. And while there's some straight-out horror like the faceless woman and the whole fetus cavern scene, the Pangs also imbue some scenes with poignancy. One particularly heartbreaking scene takes place among the elderly who were neglected and forgotten, and who plaintively hold up their hands to Ting-Yin in hopes of receiving a grave flower.

Angelica Lee is the glue that holds this movie together -- rather than doing the standard horror performance of running around looking scared, she gives a subtle, layered performance with moments of dread, surprise, tension, sorrow and love. And Yaqi Zeng gives a magnificent performance as the mysterious Ting-Yu, who has a heavily foreshadowed connection to Ting-Yin. Their final scene together is utterly heartbreaking, yet somehow satisfying.

The ending is a bit of a brain-twister, though. It makes sense in a bizarre way, given what has been written before, but it feels vaguely incomplete and leaves you wondering just what will happen next.

"Re-Cycle" is a haunting, horrifying ride through a strange world where the abandoned things end up, and shows the Pang Brothers in top form. Not your typical Asian horror flick.

Master of Reality

Horror with a Twist

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2010

Verified Purchase

This Asian movie is so unlike most Asian Horror films, very orginal and the acting superb. Imagine a reality where all the unwanted things, including dreams, childhood toys and even aborted fetuses end up, then imagine being caught in such a relm. The story premise is a writer writing for the first time about Horror and getting caught up in the in tale by the female protaginst of the book she is writing and then discards, very well intertwined. There are scary scenes, edge of your seats scenes, great special effects and even a very sad moment of reality in the writers life. You have to stay focused because the direction is somewhat flawed, but it does not distract form the story. There are some instances where the engilsh sub titles are not kept up very long and you will miss them, however, not many. If you want an edge of your seat thriller, then do yourself a favor and purchase this movie, you will not be disappointed.

Very strange movie...

Reviewed in Canada on August 26, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a really strange movie, very abstract, dark, goth, controversial scenes, a good movie to watch if you are into some strange abstract mood, high on drugs, or feeling like you have the attention span to watch a very sttttrange slow movie. However, I really liked it... ONCE. Not a movie you'd ever watch a second time though.

Pour le support(la galette pour certains, mot que je trouve plus approprié lorsque un dvdthécaire vend ou revend un film afin d'en retirer sa part commerciale, souvent sans l'avoir vu)tout vas bien.Pour les collectionneurs ce dvd est encartonné pour une meilleure tenue sur vos étagéres.Piste audio VOST et VF sont au rendez-vous.Encodé en zone 2 (europe).
Ici nouveau théme abordé de façon spirituelle et fantasque, le recyclage, voyage intérréssant des fréres pang dont l'imagination visuelle est trés fertile.Film sans prétention (scénario) mais agréable à regarder pour ses effets visuels.
