The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is playing 88 times at 19 cinemas across 14 districts, from HK$60 to HK$150 depending on cinema and time. The cheapest seat is at Broadway Tsuen Wan in Tsuen Wan, HK$60. Category III · 93 minutes.

What it is about

A young girl, Bela, forms a relationship with a sinister entity in her home who looks uncannily like her own mother.

What to expect

Rob Savage keeps the running time to 93 minutes and wastes little of it on setup: a girl, a house, and a presence that looks exactly like her mother. Jessica Chastain plays dual duty as the real and the wrong version, and the movie works hardest in the moments where the difference is a flicker rather than a scream. Jay Duplass and Arabella Olivia Clark round out the household. It is rated III in Hong Kong, so restricted to 18 and over, and this week it is only at one cinema — four screenings across the next seven days, cheapest ticket 60 HKD. English audio with Chinese subtitles. The premise is tighter than the scares, but if you want a contained psychological horror that bets on unease over gore, it holds its nerve for most of that hour and a half.
