This one starts with the old, clichéd premise of horror movies - tormented girl can see scary ghosts. You'd expect the regular, mediocre servings of Asian horror taking place after that. Not in "Inner Senses".
Her psychiatrist, played by Leslie Cheung, doesn't believe in ghosts but is eager to help. Only problem is that he apparently has some psychological issues as well.
To say more than that would be a crime. Suffice it to say that this is a wonderfully crafted movie, that is almost Lynch-ian in its unweaving. Are the ghosts real or just in our minds? Watch and decide.
This movie deserves a second viewing and a lot more praise than it got. I would classify it as a psychological horror, but labels don't do this film justice. Don't expect much gore (thankfully) but there's tension and jumps in all the right places.
This gets extra creepy points because Leslie Cheung actually killed himself a year later. In a way, this movie it is incredibly fitting as his last work - a great one.
This is an above average Asian horror that challenges you to think.
7/10.
