Writer/producer/director Ho Yuhang’s newest thriller, Mrs. K, is running high just off of a film festival mile with locations like Shanghai, Busan, Slovakia, Osaka and Taipei as well as events throughout the U.K., Australia and the U.S.. Now poised for an official release in Malaysia, a new trailer has already begun making the rounds with none other than award-winning actress Kara Wai hailing in what’s been said to be her final action film role along with actors Wu Bai, Simon Yam and Faizal Hussein.
Mrs K is a housewife who lives in a quiet suburban neighborhood with her husband Mr K and their daughter Lil’ K. One day, a stranger shows up to blackmail Mrs K. He’s an ex-cop who knows about her unseemly past. But he doesn’t seem to pose much threat and she punishes him, hoping that he would back off. That is only a prelude to the immanent terror. Soon, Lil’ K is kidnapped. Mrs K is forced out of her sheltered life to face an old enemy.
The film is also produced by Lina Tan, Lorna Tee and Albert Lee with Tony Lau Wing and young actress Siow Li Xuan also starring for the film’s release on September 7. Catch the trailer below along with a well-themed poster and Wai herself with a cheeky smirk that says it all, sword or not.
