Nominated for multiple accolades and winning a Golden Horse award for best art direction (Anusorn Pinyopojanee) and the Film of Merit at the Hong Kong Critics Society Awards, “The Detective” is a complex crime thriller from the legendary Pang brothers who staked their claim in cinema five years prior, with the internationally renowned horror ‘The Eye’.
We follow private detective Tam (Aaron Kwok) through a multi layered story, in a stylish neo-noir that at times borders on the horror Oxide Pang is known for.
Tam is a struggling private detective who is having a fairly boring morning, when a local drunk named Wing stumbles into his office to disrupt his mundane day and, unbeknownst to him, his entire life.

Danny has made some real clunkers along the way, including snooze-fest Forest of Death and In Love with the Dead. There's no doubting the visual prowess of either brother, but when it comes to great storytelling, fan favourites like The Eye and Bangkok Dangerous are fast becoming distant memories. Psycho-thriller Fairy Tale Killer is written and directed by Danny Pang, in collaboration with Thai director of photography Decha Srimantra (The Eye, Chocolate).
