Silk [DVD]

It's moody and keeps you wondering where it's going.

Coming into the holiday season on a fixed SSI budget, i couldn't spend much for presents outside of my own immediate family... looking up Tartan Asian Extreme re-released region 1 DVDs, i found two in my own personal collection for less than $3.00 liquidated (assumed overstocked). They were both above average and extremely good "The Maid" (more simple style high art quality cinematography) and "Silk" (conceptual Sci Fi, many friends saw it On Demand and enjoyed it as well)...Both were sold directly from amazon.com and were eligable for super saving shipping for over $25... So I bought 6 copies of each, 12 all together, to give out as Xmas presents... Very good for me! sorry... i think it was me who drove up the price to about $5 or $6 each, forcing you to pay more...Recently, I found a film I -haven't- seen in the same situation, Ab-Normal Beauty and bought two copies, one for me and one to give my brother a few different movies for Xmas. He is another fan of Tartan Asian Extreme films...Tartan is a European Hollywood style company, and they release the Best Asian Hollywood style films under the label... 'Extreme Horror', both straight forward gore and conceptual films, most often ghost stories, and 'Extreme Drama' like director Park Chan Wook's unconnected Revenge Trilogy about seeking revenge against kidnappers. These DVDs each had a huge price drop recently as well.... Seemed like the only trilogy i've seen where getting better means getting way 'worse.'This is more of a promotion for fans of foriegn films... and of the Tartan Asian Extreme Label...This is the first review on Amazon i ever wrote as well!Tartan Asian Extreme films at less than $3 at Super Savers over $25! if you have a cart that qualifies around $20-$22... surprise yourself with something cheap under this label, odds are if you like hollywood quality and listening to asian languages, from many different countries, so if you speak one, or dig one culture/dialect over the rest by acquantences, maybe search a bit more for Japan or Hong Kong Cantanese, Thailand, Korea, Philipeans...the right price to level 22.?? or 23.?? to 25.??... with the chance of spiking a new interest future purchases...Not Dubbed in English so B. Cool like School, and learn to read/pay attention to a movie at the same time! The Maid Silk Ab-Normal Beauty I'd write three reviews, but my ass is lazy...

I’ve watched this film twice, 15 years passed between viewings. I loved it the first time I saw it, this time…not so much. It was interesting, I’ll give it that. As far as being a horror movie, there was nothing particularly scary going on…just an overwhelming sense of sadness throughout.

I wasn't sure exactly what to expect with this movie from the previews, but it looked interesting so I decided to add it to my collection. The story unfolds very well with none of the confusion a lot of people have with asian horror movies. It kept your interest throughout the movie and there was really no lag to the story at all. The ending is definite, no ambiguous endings here. There are also some good deleted scenes and an alternate ending in the special features. Well worth watching.

This movie struck me with plot, the story, the direction and everything in it. The horror aspect is new, not too much Sci-fi, but rather intelligent new horror based on science and less fiction. I highly recommend it and it is and will remain one my favorite movies of all time.

I enjoy Asian horror flicks. This one makes you think. Great film.

Silk was a surprisingly good view. It had suspense, horror, and thriller elements. Amongst random thinking-horror elements, that is elements which are horror in that they make your skin crawl just enough, but not horror so much that our girl friends won't want. Thinking enough that you won't just predict what the story will resolve to, yet planned enough that you can try to guess.I would rate this film amongst such films as Old Boy, with it's explicit direction, yet lack of prediction (the ending isn't completely obvious), and Dark Water or Ringu for it's skin-crawly elements that we all love.I am happy with this film.

It took me some time to find this movie. I can’t normally watch horror or suspense films but I could watch this one again and again!

Nach diesem Film habe ich schon lange gesucht. Wer die original The Ring Filme msg wird auch von diesem Film überzeugt sein.

alles gut

Zu meinen Favoriten wird dieser Film nicht werden. War dennoch nett zu gucken und hatte seine spannenden Szenen.. Ich bereue es nicht ihn gelauft zu haben, Ist glaube ich allerdings Geschmackssache ob man es mag oder nicht.Mir hat die Geschichte ganz gut gefallen.

Bei Silk handelt es sich um einen Low-Budget-Film (nicht mehr als 100t Dollar)...low in Schauspielkunst, Drehbuch, Computer-Animation und Kamera...Die wirre Story erzeugt kaum Spannung....Fazit: Ein Film, den man sich nur 1x anschaut...dann in das Video-Regal stellen oder er wird in der Schrottpresse landen....LG, Stw.
