Home Sweet Home (2005)
Sometimes we don’t need ghosts or the supernatural to scare the living shit out of us when watching movies. There are no ghosts in Home Sweet Home, but it still doles out enough scares to keep you on the edge of your seat. Hong Kong-Taiwanese beauty Shu Qi stars as May, a mother who moves into a new home with her family despite coming across a hideous figure lurking around from the get-go. The figure turns out to be a deformed, clinically insane woman (played by Karena Lam in a role which refreshingly doesn’t cash in on her looks) who mistakes May’s son for her own and kidnaps him. What follows is a cat-and-mouse chase as May tracks down the woman through the apartment complex, including a chase through the air vent system and rooftop showdowns.
