Watch Re-cycle For Free

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

What do you get if you take a mixing bowl and toss in The Cell, The Grudge, some Stephen King, Alice In Wonderland, The Lovely Bones and a not-too-subtle anti abortion message? You get ReCycle, a visually unbelievable, absolutely terrifying, boundlessly imaginative Chinese horror fantasy that no one saw, got overlooked to the max, and occupies an eternal spot in my DVD collection. Novelist Tsui (The Eye's Anjelica Lee) is suffering from writer's block following two bestsellers, expected by her publisher to churn out another one posthaste. Plagued at first by paranormal visions in her apartment, she's suddenly thrown headlong into the otherworldly dimension of ReCycle, a place that can turn from beautiful to hellish and back again within minutes. Picture a surreal, abstract realm where everything that's ever lost, forgotten or abandoned ends up, thrown together in a gorgeous but threatening dream world with various levels, planes and passages, seemingly endless and never predictable. The dead also reside here, as she soon learns, some of which don't take kindly to intruders and can be pretty volatile. Forced to flee from one area of the realm to others and beyond, she's joined by the spirit of a lost little girl, and put through one hell of time trying to find her way out. Included are dilapidated, haunted amusement parks, fields and mountains that extend for millions of miles, eerie forests where the ghosts of hanged prisoners leer out at them, vast crumbling cities, acres of forgotten children's toys and in the film's most wtf sequence, a giant gooey room filled with aborted fetuses that spring to life and slime anyone within reach. That's right, the filmmakers aren't really subtle with their pro-life sentiment, especially near the end, but as long as you can get past that, the rest is all incredible. The sheer scope of the film commands attention though, and anyone who daydreams or lets their imagination run wild will get an absolute kick out of it. It's kind of like the world's weirdest video game in cinematic form, structured like a play-through but given all the disorienting unease of your worst nightmare.

Recycle is about a female writer who faces weird occurrences ever since she started to writer a new book. She's also facing relationship problems with her ex-husband.The reason I called this a salad bowl is because, as I watched the movie 'blind'(not knowing what exactly it is), I thought it's gonna be the typical girl-haunted-by-ghost horror movie. The first half of the movie is just painful to watch. If you watched horror movies, you know the typical drill. Weird shadows moving, sudden trumpet-loud noises, ghost appear behind the character, character turns and disappear. It's a freakin piously-text-book horror techniques.The second half of the film made me happy since it was a lot better, with an interesting premise but the first painful half left quite a scar. By then, I thought I was watching The Fall or Narnia, a fantasy-riddle movie. The places and the music fits so very well with a fantasy movie. Now throw in the relationship part, the twist part- you got a salad bowl.The premise of the movie is that all the unwanted, unfulfilled, abandoned, forgotten things are transported to a whole new spiritual world. It's a very exciting one to look at but some are horrible. For example, the first place was some slums with zombies. Clichéd, dull and boring. The last place was just some rocky mountains with floating rocks, again, what is noteworthy here? I just didn't find any! The interesting places are the "tunnel", "bookland" "toyland","playground land" and "graveyard". Sadly, for some of these places like bookland, playground and toyland, the characters just pass by them without developing and expanding more about the land. Who are the people there? What are the people doing with the books there? What's with the slums? The character while at the slums just look around, chased by zombies, moved on the next place. Running? Yes. Exposition? Explanation? Expanding? None.Just one last thing...What's with the overkill of onions?? I mean zombies! It's the only thing chasing after the character. Is zombies all that's is abondened as we know? We abandoned models after they get old, we abandoned soldiers at war, we abandoned old people in the shelter, the homeless in the alley, the whores in the gutter, the average teenager who committed suicide, the crippled in their hospital bed. But what's chasing the characters 90% of the movie? Zom-bies.

I have read many of the comments here and i see that this movie isn't for everyone. Many says it has horrible scripts, and unfinished story lines and so on, and i cannot see anything of this.It's a matter about how you look at the story. Asians has a very poetic point of view when it's about making horror movies, unlike all other horror movies from western. Don't look at this movie and expect gore scenes or pure actions or what so ever.This movie was made, only to following the meaning of a thoughts, of life and death, it's a symbolic movie, it was made to not have any "direct" story line. This movie is a visualization, transformed directly from the words.While folks from the western are used to see movies that has a concrete story, and acting actress by that, this movie is more meant for people that likes to angle their point of view and aspects on the meaning of life and death. The brother Pang has done an excellent work on this one, even better than the movie The Eye!

I ran into the movie out of chance and saw the trailer. That's usually how I find most of my rare treasures. Re-cycle has somewhat something of an identity crisis as to what kind of genre of films it belongs to, although it is a great Asian movie with fantastic CG effects. This movie is slow to start, but please bear with it. It kinda bears a resemblance to the Spain-local flick Pan's Labyrinth in it's artistic style. I'm not yet a fan of the Pang brothers' movies, but I think I'm going to start keeping an eye on their career. If you watch this film I definitely suggest the high definition version, because you can't forget that this movie was supposed to be a treat for the eyes and the imagination.
