Evil Fade (2000)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Cheung Lok-Ming, voted the Most Handsome King of Tutors, has many admirers among his female high school students while his wife waits patiently for a marriage proposal. Two of his students invoke the Saucer Spirit to predict the questions in their Chinese History exam. After being two-timed by her boyfriend Ted, Joyce tricks Mr. Cheung back to her apartment where Saucer Spirit bewitches him into killing her and her friend mid-seduction. After dumping the bodies into the sea, he finds himself being investigated by failed cop and toilet connosseur Ma Tung who can't even keep track of his own police badge. But Cheung has other secrets buried 20 years in his past.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
