Painted Skin (2008)
3/10
Should have known better

Warning: Spoilers
This was absolutely dreadful, a 2008 remake of a 1990s Joey Wong movie. Apparently a sequel followed so this must have been moderately popular, but for the life of me I can't see why. Donnie Yen is sidelined in a dullish plot about a husband and wife whose relationship is put to the test by the arrival of a couple of heart-eating fox spirits. Dullish romance and character stupidity is the order of the day here in which a two hour running time crawls past with endless earnest from-the-heart melodrama and the occasional cheesy action scene augmented by the usual dodgy CGI. Yen and Vicky Zhao should have known better...
