Mysterious Face

On a dark and stormy night, Liu Ling (Tao Hui) finds three corpses suspected of being murdered in a hut. She becomes terrified and wants to escape, but a black phantom slowly climbed up behind her, never to be seen again. Many years later, Liu Tian (Wang Cheng) brings friends Fang Wenqing (Wu Qijiang) and Ye Zi (Zhao Shijin) and others came to the ghost village again to find the whereabouts of his sister Liu Ling. There is an unnamed monument at the entrance of the village. At nightfall, a series of horrible things happened. The next day, everyone saw Liu Tian in front of the stele. It turned out that he suspected whether his sister was buried under the stele. Liu Tian came to the haunted house where his sister had an accident and found her sister's skeleton. That night Liu Tian kept having nightmares and his spirit collapsed. From then on, every night in the dead of night, a ghost with only a head, a face, and no body would appear next to their pillows. Can they still leave here?

Directed by Xiaoxi Zhao, Mysterious Face leans on a strong ensemble — Chong Wang, Shijin Zhao, Wu Qijiang — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2013.
