The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

What do you get if you take a mixing bowl and toss in The Cell, The Grudge, some Stephen King, Alice In Wonderland, The Lovely Bones and a not-too-subtle anti abortion message? You get ReCycle, a visually unbelievable, absolutely terrifying, boundlessly imaginative Chinese horror fantasy that no one saw, got overlooked to the max, and occupies an eternal spot in my DVD collection. Novelist Tsui (The Eye's Anjelica Lee) is suffering from writer's block following two bestsellers, expected by her publisher to churn out another one posthaste. Plagued at first by paranormal visions in her apartment, she's suddenly thrown headlong into the otherworldly dimension of ReCycle, a place that can turn from beautiful to hellish and back again within minutes. Picture a surreal, abstract realm where everything that's ever lost, forgotten or abandoned ends up, thrown together in a gorgeous but threatening dream world with various levels, planes and passages, seemingly endless and never predictable. The dead also reside here, as she soon learns, some of which don't take kindly to intruders and can be pretty volatile. Forced to flee from one area of the realm to others and beyond, she's joined by the spirit of a lost little girl, and put through one hell of time trying to find her way out. Included are dilapidated, haunted amusement parks, fields and mountains that extend for millions of miles, eerie forests where the ghosts of hanged prisoners leer out at them, vast crumbling cities, acres of forgotten children's toys and in the film's most wtf sequence, a giant gooey room filled with aborted fetuses that spring to life and slime anyone within reach. That's right, the filmmakers aren't really subtle with their pro-life sentiment, especially near the end, but as long as you can get past that, the rest is all incredible. The sheer scope of the film commands attention though, and anyone who daydreams or lets their imagination run wild will get an absolute kick out of it. It's kind of like the world's weirdest video game in cinematic form, structured like a play-through but given all the disorienting unease of your worst nightmare.

This film is so damn preachy, I figured out the intended message about 1/3 through. It's funny to see so many reviewers and comments disavowing an obvious political message that can only be described as politically naive.But even the most expensive CG effects and subtle religious intimidation disguised as emotional blackmail cannot allow you to chart a straight path through what is in fact a complex political issue. Eye candy is no substitute for genuine creativity (of thinking). This film is just completely thoughtless, abort it from your "to see" list (pun intended).

I have read many of the comments here and i see that this movie isn't for everyone. Many says it has horrible scripts, and unfinished story lines and so on, and i cannot see anything of this.It's a matter about how you look at the story. Asians has a very poetic point of view when it's about making horror movies, unlike all other horror movies from western. Don't look at this movie and expect gore scenes or pure actions or what so ever.This movie was made, only to following the meaning of a thoughts, of life and death, it's a symbolic movie, it was made to not have any "direct" story line. This movie is a visualization, transformed directly from the words.While folks from the western are used to see movies that has a concrete story, and acting actress by that, this movie is more meant for people that likes to angle their point of view and aspects on the meaning of life and death. The brother Pang has done an excellent work on this one, even better than the movie The Eye!

Recycle took me to the dark place in my mind that I know everyone has and questioned my past and how it related to the film. The writer takes us into an untapped idea to film dimension and does it with a frightening elegance. Watching scary films by yourself in the dark "should" make you stare intensely at the screen or jump unexpectedly and though it’s rare the film made me do both. The short introduction of the characters is not lost in translation or facial expression, the build up is monotonous, and then you are siphoned into an ultra surreal world where anything is possible. Few musical sequences seemed out of place which I believe to be rare in a horror film. For the consumers who like an adventurous undertone to their horror this is a great film to watch with no interruption.
