The Mysterious Family 神秘家族 is a Chinese suspense thriller inspired by a true story that took place in Fujian, China and has become one of the country’s three big murder cases. The plot revolves around a seemingly normal family whose lives are turned upside down after their daughter Miao Miao was raped one rainy evening.
The movie is a Sino-Korean collaboration that brings together Director Park Yuhwan with a diverse cast that hails from Hong Kong, Taiwan and China. Ariel Lin, Jiang Wu, Chen Xiao (Nothing Gold Can Stay) and Kara Hui play the family of four and Blue Lan brings up the rear as the mysterious assailant.
I tend to avoid anything that even slights upon the horror genre like the plague but curiosity got the better of me and now I can’t unsee the freakishly creepy poster. I feel like this could either be really good or a really bad but the cast definitely speaks for itself. It has been two years since filming has wrapped and the movie will finally hit theaters this month.
Release Date: April 21, 2017

Do you know where I can read about the true story? I tried Googling it, but nothing came up.

hi i did find a news article about the murder case of a family of four in Fujian but the kids were 12 and 6 so I'm guessing the movie is very loosely based on it.
