    Сast and Crew

    Source book

    There is no reliable public information confirming that “Tales from the Dark: Part 2” (2013) is based on a specific book. Most available descriptions treat it as a horror portmanteau/anthology film with multiple segments, without naming a single literary source.

    Book author

    Because a confirmed source book has not been identified, the book’s author cannot be stated accurately.

    How closely the film matches the book

    This cannot be assessed without a verified underlying book to compare against. If you can provide a candidate book/collection title (Chinese or English), I can check and then describe the relationship precisely.

    Goodreads link

    No Goodreads page can be provided because a specific source book has not been reliably identified.Note: Lillian Lee is sometimes mentioned in connection with the broader franchise, but that does not, in public sources, amount to confirmation of a particular book being adapted for “Part 2.”

    Reception

    In Film Business Asia, Derek Elley gave it a 5 out of 10 and said that "two strong stories bookend a weak central one." In The Hollywood Reporter, Clarence Tsui said the "three half-hour horror shorts attain uneven levels of scary moments, with Lawrence Lau’s old-school shock-and-awe approach coming out tops."
