Sometimes it’s hard to cross language barriers. Take, for instance, the YouTube trailer for director Xu Bin’s “The Frightening Night”. Truth be told, I couldn’t tell you anything about the story or the characters — I know next to nothing about either one. However, the collection of tantalizing images contained within the clip you’re about to watch has worked its magic on a purely visceral level. All I know for sure is this: Attractive people, in varying degrees of undress, are being stalked and murdered one by one. Oh, and there might be some sort of supernatural entity pulling the strings. Beyond that, I’m clueless. As soon as more information bubbles to the surface, I’ll be all over it. As it stands, “The Frightening Night” is set to scare the pants off of Chinese movie-goers on April 2nd, 2011.
