| The ever so brutally honest Anthony Wong's path as director started with this highly odd mixture, leaning more towards horror. Utilizing a twisting narrative that drifts back and forth in time, between illusion and reality, the film is more of a show reel to see what little elements Wong can perform as director/co-writer/main actor. Because for this viewer, it sure isn't coherent what's going on here. Wong does show some decent knack for low-key horror, warmth and comedy but within the bizarre framework of New Tenant, them aspects do not end up as merits. Somewhat entertaining but ultimately only a curiosity. Dolphin Chan, Parkman Wong, Lawrence Ng, Teddy Yip, Dayo Wong and Lau Ching-Wan are among those that appear. |
