The trailer for Mong-Hong Chung’s “Soul” has been released. The Taiwanese director’s psychological horror is not the normal revenge/ evil spirit flick most associated with the Asian horror community but takes a vastly different approach of dealing with the deceased. The movie is a philosophical investigation of possession, looking at what happens when someone is possessed by another soul, and how their family treats them. It stars Jimmy Wang, Joseph Chang, and Leon Dai. Quiet, 30 year-old A-Chuan is a sous chef at a Japanese restaurant. One day he collapses and is rushed to hospital, where doctors are at a loss to explain what happened to him. They deduce that his sudden disassociated state is a psychological disorder and send him back to his hometown in the mountains to recuperate under the care of his 70 year-old father, Wang.
