Audience Member This was an awesome movie. Basically an asian chick flick that guys can enjoy as well. As long you do not mind reading subtitles have fun. This flick is very cinimatic has spectacular visuals and a fantastic original story. A great mix supernatural martial arts, love story, heroism and a bit of humor. When it ended I was hoping to see more. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member come on it should've been better Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A nice emotional journey involving pretty amazing fantasy and a nice love story between a human and a daemon. The film has some really awkward storyline that hampers the narrative - an unnecessary love triangle that restricts the viewer from investing totally on a character. It could have totally been chopped off. The cinematography starts off good but gets monotonous after a certain time with same angular shots that is often distracting. The fight sequences are pretty good particularly towards the end filling in with the visual aesthetic of the movie. Speaking of visuals , it is dazzling and colorful and nicely done striking a fine balance between reality and fantasy. But the biggest positive of the movie is the beautiful underlying eastern score that embellishes the emotional flow of the narrative beautifully. On the whole , this remake is quite appealing to both the eye and the mind , at the same time suffering from a lot of similar mundane characterizations of the leads Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member It was pretty campy but what impressed me about this film was the visuals. Some effects were sub par b grade effects but others were very cool and quirky. The whole film boasted really mystical and haunting cinematography and some of the performances were awesome particularly that of the ancient tree spirit portrayed by Kara Hui. All in all a pretty cool movie. I will be watching the original though. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice trailer, but not a very nice movie. HA! Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Le remake de HISTOIRES DE FANTOMES CHINOIS. Bon j'ai pas vu l'original mais ce wu xia pan là s'avère être passable mais sans plus. En tout cas on est trà (C)s loin des chefs d'oeuvre comme ZU ou JIANG-HU. Mais bon ça se laisse regarder...
