Childrens stories & horrifying murders go hand in hand in Danny Pangs Fairy Tale Killer. The latest solo project from one of the creators behind Hong Kong horror hit The Eye ditches the supernatural angle but retains the scares & suspense in a gruesome crime thriller about a serial killer that finds inspiration in classic fables. Two acclaimed actors join the filmmakers cause: Lau Ching Wan ( Life Without Principle) stars as the troubled cop on the case, while the usually meek Wang Baoqiang ( Mr. Tree) becomes the deranged killer responsible for the bizarre & bloody deaths. The supporting cast
Includes:: singer/actress Elanne Kwong ( Love Lifting), who flexes her acting muscles again playing an autistic artist, as well as Lam Suet, Elena Kong, & Joey Meng.
At the precinct where Inspector Wong (Lau Ching Wan) is stationed, a man with a serious stutter named Ng (Wang Baoqiang) turns himself in, claiming he has committed murder. The "e;victim"e;, however, turns out very much alive, so the cops have to let this apparently mentally disturbed man go. But after a couple of days that victim really ends up dead, & soon other bodies begin to turn up one by one, all killed in different but equally grisly manners. Without any clue, Wong struggles to lead the investigation into these strange murders. What they manage to find in the apartment of Ng, the prime suspect, is nothing but a pile of books of fairy tales...
