Be prepared to scream and half the time in laughter when you catch director Chai Yee Wei's latest film 'Twisted' or 撞鬼. A cross-breed between horror and comedy, this film promises to entertain and we promise it will if the gala screening was anything to go by. The only thing you will miss is the boisterous entertainment provided by the star-studded cast of Twisted who hammed it up for a series of promotional activities over the weekend.
The Star-studded Tour started with a press conference held on 22 July 2011, at K Box, K Union Orchard Cineleisure. During the press conference, Director Chai Yeewei 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.
