By InCinemas / 25 Jul 2011 (Monday)
Singapore, 25 July 2011 – Clover Films, mm2 and Shaw Organisation are pleased to announce that in conjunction with the release of 《撞鬼》Twisted, a star tour involving a series of publicity events was successfully held from 22-24 July 2011.
The Star Tour started with a press conference held on 22 July 2011, at K Box, K Union Orchard Cineleisure. During the press conference, Director Chai Yee Wei 蔡於位 and cast Mark Lee 李国煌, Zhu Mimi 朱咪咪, Cavin Soh 苏智诚, Joey Leong 梁祖仪 and Josh Lai 赖力豪 greeted members of the media and shared their roles and filming experiences.
"I am not going to thank the director for my role in the film," Zhu Mimi declared. She plays the role of a mother, whose introvert daughter (Joey Leong) appears to be possessed. "He make me look so ugly in the movie (refering to her character shown in the movie poster). Fortunately, I am beautiful by nature so it wasn't that bad on screen."
Twisted consists of 3 short stories linked together by Mark Lee's character. On the other hand, Mark seems pretty satisfied with his role. "I must thank the director for giving me such a 'hot and powerful' wife. I prefer to have one who would 'toss' me around than those typical bed scenes." Mark points out with reference to Calvin Soh and Josh Lai's characters, both of whom tried to bed their fellow colleagues.
As for Joey Leong, who had previously starred in Chai Yee Wei's featured horror film, Blood ties, she will be plaing the possessed daughter in the third story. "I like the role because there is a lot of things I haven't try before. The make-up uses a lot of glue on my whole body and it hurts after some time." Joey shares the challenges of her role but not forgetting to thank Yee Wei for casting her again. "I would like to thank the director for the opportunity."

Is it karma? Or just bad luck?
These are the two questions in the Twisted movie Poster. Serious they might sound, the movie, directed by Chai Yee Wei, carries a new fun and hilarious element amidst the scares and horror you will experience in Twisted. The end product is an enjoyable experience that will leave you recalling some of the funny scenes in the movie.
"After watching Twisted, you will feel more brave when the lunar 7th month comes," Zhu Mimi told the crowd at Jurong Point. Mark Lee gave his own opinion too. "I have watched the director's previous horror movie, Blood Ties, and I think it was very good. I like his style and in this movie, Twisted, it is even better in the way the movie is presented."
It must have meant something to Yee Wei when Mark Lee says that. Afterall, Mark Lee himself has also directed a 'Hor-medy' The Ghosts Must Be Crazy 《鬼也笑》 (2010).
As for the director himself, he simply hopes that the audience will have a lot of fun watching Twisted as they themselves had a lot of fun during the film making. Also see our InCinemas Interview with Twisted Director Chai Yee Wei!
