Matrimony - 2007 - 6/10
[Image: 313t8c9.jpg]
For many, title is dead giveaway. Horror film.
Ghost story set in 1930s Shanghai.
New wife receives orders from chronically depressed husband NOT to venture into locked room . . .
Lush sets, understated acting, definitely a mood piece, but an old fashioned ghost story.
Main problem is ham fisted sound mix, with music and effects cranked to the max during spooky moments.
Otherwise, film is predictable ghost story, splashed with survivor's guilt.
