On a so far slow news week, rumblings continue to emit from the American Film Market. After a bit of snooping, I stumbled on a new Chinese horror/thriller called DARK WEDDING. Get out the tuxes and gowns, it’s time to revel in matrimonial terror!

DARK WEDDING comes from director Bosco Lam, who hasn’t directed a feature since 2000. Since then however, Lam has done assistant directing for American films, including the 2009 Dakota Faning flick PUSH. Now, it looks like Lam’s going back to the altar.

With Jerry Yan, Viann Zhang (below), Feier Li and Cindy Chen set to star, DARK WEDDING picks up after:

A car accident has taken the life of Li Xianer, the fiancée of Ling Zhijie, 5 years ago. Always having the care and attention from best friends Dashun and his girlfriend Cheng Xin, Zhijie can’t help regarding himself as an inauspicious guy, for 2 girlfriends that he knew since that accident successively ended up in great misfortune.

A college girl named He Xiaoling comes back from the U.S. to do research on the ancient custom called “Marriage with the Dead”. Dashun is eager to act as a go-between for her and Zhijie. But strange things befall in succession when they’re getting closer, which seems as if someone is attempting He Xiaoling’s life. Meanwhile, He Xiaoling starts to suspect that Zhijie’s fiancée Li Xianer isn’t dead at all. Ling Zhijie finally realizes that those weird things are not just predestined coincidences. When the truth is just a few steps away from Xiaoling and Zhijie, Xiaoling disappear without any reason.

When everyone is restless with anxiety, Dashun has got the clue that leads them to a mysterious village called Lone Hill. The moment they walk into the village, a dangerous scheme breaks loose. The final destination for Ling Zhijie is a well plotted and vicious dark wedding.

Stay tuned for a DARK WEDDING date.
