Directed by Kuo-Chu Huang and written by Chi-Hua Liu, this stars Michiko Nishiwaki (In the Line of Duty 3) as Sha Sha Lee, a fashion photographer who keeps having visions of Chit Chit (Gordon Liu), a former kickboxer with brain damage who now stalks the streets of Thailand taking photos of women before he kills them.
Yet Sha Sha isn't some frightening girl who needs saved. In one scene, she and her boss Queen (Cynthia Lam) fight a gang at a food stall while continuing their conversation. The problem is that Chit Chit soon figures out that she's inside his mind and decides to kill her before she can figure out who he is and tell the police.
I'm used to see Nishiwaki as a villain and Liu as a monk hero, so this is definitely a big change. I also find it amusing that so many reviews call this a giallo - which it totally is! - but don't remark how much it takes from The Eyes of Laura Mars. Instead of fashion and eroticism, you get fight scenes. And Queen being in love with Sha Sha, but can you blame her?
