Michael Atkinson Village Voice Yang keeps all of the balls in the air, resisting definitive answers and conjuring a lean-in sense of intimate dread. Oct 20, 2016 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Edward Yang's Terrorizers (Kongbu Fenzi, 1986) explores the inherent danger of reality and fiction becoming indistinguishable. Rated: 4/4 Feb 14, 2022 Full Review Alonso Díaz de la Vega El Universal The shooting itself is one of the strangest and most sensational I have ever seen. [Full review in Spanish] Dec 9, 2021 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A dreamlike profound film of parallel stories, though bleak, confusing and enigmatic, is masterfully blended together.

steve c For most of the movie, I was terrorized by the lack of a plot. What the hack was I watching? Just hang on to the end and you will agree that some people should be cursed for life or deserve sterility. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Jigsaw after jigsaw, the overall picture of The Terrorizers splendidly and realistically combines Taiwan's 80s capitalistic society with the paradoxical elements of a kill-them-all finale of a novel. As this wasn't enough, watching Yang's work, a leap into sub-realism makes the ending a puzzle of reality and fiction, which ultimately composes a beautifully sophisticated drama. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Edward Yang's MASTERPIECE. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Though I'm not sure whether Yang looks up to Altman or not, but both directors share the same mastery of multi-narrative that is not frequently seen. Which, of course, I admire. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 170223 This movie is like a bottle of vintage wine.
