The Resurrected (2025, Taiwan)

Directors: Leste Chen and Hsu Chaoyen

Writers: Shen Yang, Yi Shuaijie and Luo Xiaorui

Mini-review:

I'm always up for a revenge thriller, especially for one with such an exciting cast and this sort of supernatural twist. The revenge plot itself is mostly satisfying, with many threads involved, and the show also has a really biting sense of humor. Tbh, the narrative is a bit messy. The constant jumps between years and countries can get seriously confusing at times, so you need to pay close attention, considering the number of characters and important events. Sometimes it takes a bit too long to reveal certain details, and it can feel like there are plot holes, but they're eventually explained. (Except for the ending, where they lost me a bit). Still, the drama boasts seriously impressive production values and tremendous performances by its superb cast. I wouldn't say The Resurrected is flawless, but I definitely enjoyed it.

P.S. This is one of those stories with a lot of triggering content, so check warnings before watching.

You must be sincere for the Goddess to feel your longing.

I'm not sure I follow the plot of this thriller--there's kidnapping? A goddess? Resurrections? Fu Mengbo shirtless and tortured?--but that cast? Shu Qi AND Lee Sinje??? 

Resurrected looks absolutely bonkers and I can't wait.

Hong Kong director Oxide Pang 彭順 shares how he got ideas for his latest film, 夢遊3D Sleepwalker in 3D.

Perfect pair: Oxide Pang 彭順 and his wife, Lee Sinje (李心潔/李心洁).

HONG Kong filmmaker Oxide Pang 彭順 says he dreams in full colour and is constantly inspired by his quirky dreams and surreal nightmares.

“Even on the flight to Kuala Lumpur this morning, I fell asleep and had a nightmare. In my dream, the plane crashed. I was jolted awake and found myself still here,” Pang shared during an interview conducted after the press conference to promote his latest movie 夢遊3D Sleepwalker in 3D recently.

The director, who is now based in Bangkok, Thailand, was accompanied by his glamorous Kedah-born wife and leading lady Lee Sinje (李心潔/李心洁).

夢遊 Sleepwalker is their first film project together after they got married last year as well as their first in seven years since filming Re-cycle 鬼域, which was released in 2006. Together, they make a very entertaining couple as they shared how they decided to sleep in separate rooms while filming and discussed topics like nightmares, sleepwalking and murder.

Pang revealed that the premise of 夢遊 Sleepwalker is based on his personal experience. “In the movie, the protagonist has a dream of an abandoned piece of land and the suspicion of a body buried underneath. This image has been a recurring one for me for the past 10 years.”

However, unlike the character in the movie, Pang hasn’t gone on to investigate. “Because I’m very sure I’ve never killed anyone!” the director deadpanned, leaving everyone in stitches.

Lee added: “We read in America that there was a very loving couple. One day, the husband killed the wife while sleepwalking. But he was eventually acquitted of murder. So, it’s hard to explain these matters.

“It was big news then. So, I combined the two ideas and got the concept for the plot of 夢遊 Sleepwalker. It’s more of a mystery and a drama this time. While the idea may have come from my own dream, my movie is more horrible,” Pang teased again.

So does either one of them sleepwalk?

“I don’t believe so but I wouldn’t know even if I did. Because sleepwalkers don’t know what they are doing. I only remember once that I was crying in my dream and when I woke up I was still crying,” Pang, 46, offered.

Lee, 35, said: “Probably not because nobody has ever told me I sleepwalk. But, I’ve been told I talk in my sleep. Once, I yelled out very loudly in the middle of the night and scared the person next to me.”

“That person must have been me!” Pang interjected, eliciting more laughter.

After revealing that it was not Pang, Lee added that Pang actually talks in his sleep. “It’s actually quite scary, and I’ve told him about it. He says he doesn’t remember anything though.”

With that, Lee said sleepwalking is something she is quite familiar with because her younger brother used to sleepwalk when he was a kid.

“We’d all be watching TV and he’d suddenly walk out of his room and stand in front of the set. Since we all knew very well what’s going on, we’ll just take him back to his room. On that night, my parents would make sure that all the doors were locked. Sleepwalking is very dangerous as he may fall down the stairs.

“So for 夢遊 Sleepwalker, I based my portrayal of sleepwalking on these memories, which have left me with a very deep impression. The director also created a very interesting premise for the movie. With it being in 3D and me walking around in my nightgown and high heels, I believe audiences will be able to identify with my character’s predicament and feel the same horror as she does upon discovering her chilling affliction.”

Although she admits to being easily scared, Lee is surprisingly unafraid of filming the horror movies that she is well-known for. “It’s not scary at all when we are filming. There are easily a hundred people around keeping you company. There is nothing to be afraid of.”

So, why did Pang decide to shoot 夢遊 Sleepwalker in 3D? “To me, 3D is just a new technology with improved camera techniques. Hence, it’s only a natural progression to shoot in 3D. Even wireless technology for phones has gone from 2G to 3G and now 4G. It’s the same and so simple, if you don’t start shooting in 3D, how would you be able to go on to shoot films in 4D and 5D and 6D later?” replied Pang.

The bespectacled director who operates a production house in Thailand, conducted interviews in Cantonese and English and was asked to demonstrate his command of the Thai language.

Having made so many horror movies (his most successful genre), Pang expressed an eagerness to expand his horizons and explore other genres.

He said that he would be coming to Kuala Lumpur again next month to recce filming locations for his next movie, another sequel to The Detective series (2007 [C+偵探/C+侦探] and 2011 [B+偵探/B+侦探]), which stars Aaron Kwok 郭富城. Pang also looks forward to making another sequel of Bangkok Dangerous บางกอกแดนเจอรัส เพชฌฆาตเงียบ อันตราย (1999), his first movie made with his younger twin brother Danny.

Pang, who started his career as a telecine colourist in a film lab, has a dozen movies under his belt and another 10 made in collaboration with Danny.
