The Butterfly Murders
Directed by Tsui Hark
Produced by Seasonal Film Corporation
A stylish, surreal martial-arts mystery that blends gothic horror with kinetic action, driven by visual strangeness and mounting dread rather than emotional depth.
A journalist attempting to solve a mystery in "Martial World" enlists the aid of a master fighter and a woman named Green Breeze. They go to a mysterious castle where they come across poisonous butterflies and a black-leather-clad killer.
