A Hong Kong version still of Gordon Chan's new movie "Huapi," or "Painted
Skin," was recently released.
"Painted Skin" is a thriller centering on a vampire-like woman who eats the
skin and hearts of her lovers. The film is adapted from the ancient novel
"Liaozhai Zhiyi," or "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio," written by Pu
Songling during the Qing Dynasty.
The still of actresses Zhou Xun and Vicky Zhao has an eerie feel. Zhou, who
plays a fox sprite, appears in the photo as a human, while white-headed Vicky
Zhao weeps tears of blood.
The movie will premiere on September 28.
