Good Will Evil (2008)

AKA: Xion Mei

Director: Yu-fen Lin, Ming-chan Wang

Premise:
A couple adopt a young girl who seems to be harbouring a ghost in her stuff animal.

My Take:
A slightly different ghost story from the normal Asian horror. An unstable wife who is dealing with her own troubled past from youth is relunctant to become a mother. Her husband is an up an coming politian and pushes for adoption. The get a young girl who is awkard socially and had her own traumas. Weird things start to happen and the wife isn't sure if its her mental state or real. Then the fun beings.
The little girl's performance is simply amazing. The range of emotion she brings to each scene astonished me.

Rating: In the middle
