Fairy Tale Killer (追凶, Pupil in Chinese) is a 2012 Hong Kong horror film directed by Danny Pang Phat.[3] The film was released on 11 May 2012, and stars Sean Lau, Wang Baoqiang, and Elanne Kong.[4] [5] The Fairy Tale Killer follows police detective Wong Wai-han, as he investigates a series of brutal murders.[6]
When a bloodied and incoherent Wu Zaijun confesses to five murders that have not occurred, the police assume that he is mentally unstable and ignore his claims. Police detective Wong Wai-han is investigating a series of gruesome murders, but soon discovers that all is not as it seems and that not only are the murders connected, but that Jun is tied to them in some way.[7]
The movie review site Twitch panned the film, expressing disappointment in the acting range of Wang Baoqiang in the film.[8] The Xinhua News Agency praised the film's acting, but criticized the film's ending as too bizarre and not always coherent.[9]
