The Times (UK)

The Hong Kong spookfest Rigor Mortis is a whole lot of fun if you approach it as a kind of Asian horror-trope bingo game. The film is as bloated as a distended corpse.

Rated: 2/5

Little White Lies

Roll our eyes we might, but importantly we never look away in fright, simply because the horrors always remains on screen.

Guardian

Director Juno Mak serves up some startling and creepy moments, and a few cliches: the digital palette of steely grey-blue and brown is overfamiliar.

A confusing plod through a plot filled with knowing references and a mixed bag of nasties...

An eerie, haunting movie that isn't what it initially appears.

... fans of Mr. Vampire and the whole hopping vampire phenom will likely find it a much more interesting ride.

Craaaaaazy movie! I'd say it could be a cheap-budget The Matrix focused on Vampires and ghosts. Nevertheless, the made a good effort to create some good special effects, especially at the end.

Probably one of the best horror movie from Hong Kong.

Part homage to the 'Mr. Vampire' series (films about comical Chinese hopping vampire/zombie busters), part who's-who of chinese folklore creatures, part straight-up horror movie, and just a meta smidgen of washed-up movie star angst. No laughs to be found here like in the old Mr. Vampire movies, just eerie horror played straight. It actually works pretty well and makes for an interesting watch. The special effects are Hollywood level. The ending is a bit nihilistic but is in line with the feel of the rest of the film. Worth seeing.

Pretty awesome little supernatural action thriller. Very dark, very stylish. Really dug the ending. Didn't know rice could kill vampires. Good to know, I better stock up.
