Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio
Painted Skin () is a 2008 supernatural-fantasy film directed by Gordon Chan, starring Donnie Yen, Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei, Sun Li and Qi Yuwu. Although the film is based partly on a supernatural premise, it is more of an action-romance than a horror film. "Painted Skin" is based, very loosely, on "The Painted Skin", a short story from the collection "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". The theme song of the film, "Huà Xīn" (畫心; "Painted Heart"), was performed by Jane Zhang.
