Duke, a sweet octogenarian resident of a serene nursing home, reads to a fellow female patient every day from the tattered pages of his leather-bound notebook with almost holy devotion. Duke entertains her with relating the enthralling romance between Allie, a wealthy city girl, and Noah, a poor but poetic country boy. And gradually, Duke reveals a Southern, lumber-scented summer romance in the late 1930s in North Carolina, among the state's great trees. In fact, it appears as though the quiet manuscript has the unfathomable ability to break through the thick clouds that surround the silver-haired dame. Slowly but surely, the enchanted lady is drawn into the strangely seductive fairy tale of the highs and lows of the young impassioned lovers. However, nobody is certain of what lies ahead.

“Scream” was written by Kevin Williamson and directed by Wes Craven, who made “A Nightmare on Elm Street” (1984), an early slasher classic in the “Halloween” mold. Craven seemed to resent the legions of imitations and sequels “Elm Street” spawned, and in 1994 rebuffed them with “Wes Craven’s New Nightmare,” a horror satire in which Freddy Krueger appears in the real world and begins to terrorize the cast and crew of the original “Nightmare on Elm Street,” including its star, Heather Langenkamp, and Craven himself. Although not entirely effective, “New Nightmare” makes plain Craven’s dissatisfaction with the homogeneity of contemporary horror and clearly anticipates the full-scale genre deconstruction he would try two years later with “Scream.”

Sardonic self-awareness made “Scream” fresh and novel. That sensibility was ideally suited to the savvy, postmodernist ’90s, and the attendant air of vague sophistication no doubt contributed to its warm reception and enormous commercial success. The impact registered immediately. A sequel, “Scream 2,” which was rushed into production and released less than a year later, (inevitably) deconstructed the conventions of horror movie sequels. Besides several sequels, though, the original movie also swiftly triggered an influx of copycat slashers. “Scream” single-handedly reinvigorated a genre that had been languishing for years.

The post-“Scream” slashers bore a strong resemblance. They typically featured the stars of popular teen dramas; masked, blade-wielding baddies; and, most important, that winking, self-referential attitude that told you the movie was in on its own joke.

 Soul Snatcher follows the story of a scholar Wang Zijin (Chen Li-nung) and a young fox demon Bai Shisan (Li Xian). The unlikely duo builds up their friendship as they become travel companions — Zijin is on his way to the capital for the civil examinations, while Shisan is looking for the soul bead which will grant him immortality. Their bond is put to the test when Zijin realises the soul bead Shisan has been looking for resides in his body and can only be obtained upon his death. Torn between achieving immortality and his best friend, Shisan is forced to make a painful choice.

From the producer of action-fantasy Monster Hunt, Soul Snatcher opens with a cute but touching scene of a little red fox clinging onto the brink of a cliff. Seeing that the fox is about to fall to its death, a young kid pulls it up to safety but accidentally slips off the cliff. The fox wants to help the kid but his sharp claws scratch his hand instead. Sadly, the kid loses his grip and plunges down the cliff. The fox hurries down to his motionless body with watery eyes, and a teardrop lands onto the wound on the kid’s hand. Apart from the computer-generated fox being super adorable, this seemingly random and innocent scene turns out to be a crucial part of the story.

The fantasy plot is also intertwined with hilarious episodes, mostly slapstick comedy. For instance, Zijin and Shisan encounter revolving doors as they try to escape from zombies (as in the Chinese kind, not the Western type). But in the midst of hastily running about through the doors, Shisan ends up holding not the hands of Zijin, but a zombie’s. In another scene, Shisan is swallowed by a frog demon and is blasted out of its mouth hitting the wall like an arrow to the bullseye. Yes, as corny as it sounds, it actually works to jack up the laughter.

It’s a pity that the plot is as messy as it can be. If we zoom out to see the bigger picture, the plot can be split into four parts: the funny frog demon arc; the random brothel arc which introduces a vengeful female ghost as the love obsession of Zijin; the civil examinations arc that expands on the sub-plot of Zijin trying to find a missing person, which feels like the climax but isn’t; and the grand battle in which I think they are trying to do a plot twist by introducing an antagonist — yes, a sudden mighty antagonist towards the end of the movie.

Soul Snatcher just feels like it is trying to accomplish too many things given the relatively short time frame of a movie. It would have been a lot better if it did not have too many side characters and kept its plot straightforward. The way it has been structured seems to be like a poorly condensed version of a television drama, which means it would have done better as a television drama spanning a few episodes.

That being said, Soul Snatcher is still an entertaining film to watch, which touches on personal ideals and values, and the strength of friendship.
