Wendy Ide 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 Apr 24, 2015 Full Review Cormac O'Brien Little White Lies Roll our eyes we might, but importantly we never look away in fright, simply because the horrors always remains on screen. Rated: 2/5 Apr 23, 2015 Full Review Peter Bradshaw 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. Rated: 3/5 Apr 23, 2015 Full Review Dan Stubbs NME (New Musical Express) A confusing plod through a plot filled with knowing references and a mixed bag of nasties... Rated: 1.5/5 Jun 2, 2021 Full Review Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See An eerie, haunting movie that isn't what it initially appears. Rated: B Jul 8, 2020 Full Review Amie Simon Three Imaginary Girls ... fans of Mr. Vampire and the whole hopping vampire phenom will likely find it a much more interesting ride.

Endora S Love this movie. Have been watching it regularly for years and decided it needed a better rating. It's very fresh, it has a good story it's action-packed and it's refreshing to see a horror with believable characters that seem like people you'd know from a poorer neighbourhood being relatable. I admit the first time I saw this movie I was looking for a horror movie but was not disappointed. It's exciting, has horror concepts it's legit like watching a live-action anime. Love this movie so much it's right up there with Tombstone for me. The only part I didn't like was the last 3 minutes the last 3 minutes always engage my world because I want there to be another... Like Space Dandy, it ends in such a way its out of the question so like they say about Dante's Inferno (don't read the first book before Inferno or Paradiso if you a fan) Skip the last 3 minutes otherwise it's a fin ghost vampire action-packed tale told beautifully with the harsh input of modern society. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review leonardo j 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Probably one of the best horror movie from Hong Kong. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is awesome. Martial Arts, horror, comedy, thriller, action, suspense it has everything. I enjoyed this a whole heck of a lot. I watched it twice in a row. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/04/19 Full Review Read all reviews
