Thanks to the spread of video cameras and video processing tools, modern
people nowadays are capable of making their own films, rather than just
being "couch potatoes" watching other people's.

Recently, a horror movie made by a group of Shanghai office workers for
just US$125, featuring suspense, murder, revenge and love, was premiered
in a dilapidated warehouse beside the city's Suzhou Creek.

The thriller, promoted as the first original horror movie about Shanghai,
attracted more than 200 viewers on its premiere night. More than half of
the audience were local white-collars who had learnt about the movie on
the Internet.

This 49-minute picture is called "Voodoo," in reference to the mystical
"voodoo dolls" used to vent anger and curse personal enemies - presently
with rising popularity in the city. A mostly-women amateur film crew
wrote the script and shot the movie, which presents a grotesque story
involving deadly conflicts between several women colleagues working in
the same office.

The movie is now available at the website www.toodou.com.
