Martina Chen: “Malice is a dark and powerful Nü Gui (女鬼 nǚ guǐ — female spirit). She possesses an irresistible physical attractiveness, which becomes a tool to manipulate men and explore the concept of obsession. “
Chaz Fenwick: “The film’s premise draws inspiration from Chinese folklore. How did this influence your portrayal of Malice?
Martina Chen: “The nu gui legend carries a powerful message about the consequences of violence and mistreatment towards women. I aimed to embody the nu gui’s spirit of vengeance and channel the pain and anger that arise from the injustices she suffered. Understanding the nu gui’s tragic transformation allowed me to delve deeper into Malice’s psyche, infusing her character with a haunting sense of purpose and a relentless pursuit of revenge. “
