Silk (2006) "Gui si" (original title)

A crippled scientist discovers a way to trap ghosts to power anti-gravity technology.   Hard to classify this one, horror/thriller/sci-fi perhaps?  Whatever camp you are in the story is well developed and multifaceted despite its minimalist aspects.  FX are respectable if not stellar and fans of Asian horror will recognize some fairly standard 'ghostly' behavior.  Being the nerd that I am it was the scientific angle they use to propel the story forward, tying physics to the supernatural, that really made this one work for me.  Very entertaining with a bit of a twist on the end that may be a little surprising. Enjoy.  Recommended.
