YesAsia Editorial Description
Hong Kong horror movie Home Sweet Home is at once a chilling thriller and a tender love story about the lengths mothers will go to for their children.
Taiwanese actress Shu Qi (Three Times) plays May, a young mother who moves into a new apartment complex with her family. But no sooner have they settled in than May's young son goes missing. It transpires that he has in fact been kidnapped by a hideously deformed woman (played by Hong Kong beauty Karena Lam, from Koma, in a mountain of grotesque make-up) who believes him to be her long lost son.
May is forced into the ducts and vents of her apartment building to track down her boy, and confront this other terrifying, yet equally bereaved, mother. Directed by Soi Cheang (Love Battlefield) and co-starring Alex Fong and Lam Suet, Home Sweet Home thankfully disregards many of the staples of recent Asian horror to deliver an effective little film, capable of providing as many genuinely emotional moments as effective chills.

Drama with a dash of Horror
| This is a movie to see at least once, particularly if you're a fan of Karena Lam because she truly gives a powerful, multi-faceted performance as the disfigured woman. Shu Qi does an admirable job as well as an increasingly desperate mother. The story-line is very much 4/5ths tragic drama, 1/5th horror. The only thing in this film which irked me slightly were the 12+ scenes involving a screaming/crying child...after a while it just became grating. Otherwise, a good movie which really helps you to see that your life COULD be worse. 6 out of 10 stars. |

Sorry But Too Depressing to Watch
| This is not really a horror movie. It seemed more like a depressing drama. The chemistry of adding loads of drama into a potentially good horror movie seemed like a big mistake. The sad story of how Karena Lam became the hag in the movie made me want to turn my TV off. Shu Qi seemed to have overacted a little. But both actress gave good efforts on their parts. And the movie seems so trying. |
