Horror you cannot imagine!, 5 August 2008
8/10
Author: lastliberal from Florida

This film from Chinese director Fruit Chan, written by Lilian Lee features the incredibly beautiful and talented Bai Ling. She makes the best dumplings; in addition, we get to see two incredible dumplings while she is chopping. Her dumplings constitute a fountain of youth. The ones she makes, not the ones she has.

Her ingredients are the secret and they are something that would be unimaginable to those who haven't seen this film. When Mrs Lee (Miriam Yeung Chin Wah) finds out what she is being fed; oh, my! But, she returns for more treatments.

The result is amazing and her husband, the multi-talented Tony Leung Ka Fai is all over her. She even gets pregnant, although told she never could.

But, there is always a price to pay for what we want.
