A WICKED TALE
(Feb, 2005)

A modern adaptation of the Grimm fairytale of Little Red Riding Hood, A Wicked Tale, the second film by young Singapore director Tzang Merwyn Tong, does not only borrow a European story, but also a partially European cast. Tong uses several styles and filming techniques, but is not really consistent with his palet of diversity. This short film incorporates gruesome elements such as murder and sexual misconduct into the original fairytale, bringing it to a rather bloody climax reminiscent of the torture scenes in Miike Takashi’s Audition. Although daring, as a whole A Wicked Tale feels a bit forced and incohesive.
