"Evil's Return" (2026) is an 83-minute mystery thriller film directed by Zhao Cong.
Set in the late Tang Dynasty, Wu Ling refuses to believe his sister, Wu Shuang, has become an evil spirit.
Using a forbidden resurrection technique, Wu Ling revives his sister and plans to uncover the true culprit and restore justice.
This film stars: Han Dong, Zhao Daixi, Dou Guiyu, Song Haijie and more.
In my opinion:
This is my first review for a Chinese film, and I'm thoroughly impressed. The tension builds from the start. With no unnecessary, chaos introduced early on, serving as clues to follow the story.
I've watched some modern Chinese
films before, and honestly, I wasn't impressed. But lately, their quality has
been improving. I admit, this is one of the best Chinese films I've seen.
From the start, we're guided to
build a narrative and conclude that the source of chaos is a female demon
called Maitreya, spreading disease in Huazhou city.
But don't be fooled; there's a
bigger crime behind it all.
The film is excellent, with
natural acting, dialogues that convey mystery, and a well-structured story
leading to a surprising twist at the end.
It brings back memories of older
Chinese films focusing on storytelling and tradition. The film takes me back to
that era. It showcases etiquette between subordinates and superiors (even
standing posture is scrutinized), moral principles, and even the burial must be
in accordance to Fengshui
With great visuals, audio,
cinematography, and storytelling, I highly recommend this film.
For me this one is 8/10.
