Another asian action-horror that really needed more story and character development to give it more depth. It's so full of plot holes and characters randomly appear from nowhere without any info on their backstory. It's as if the film starts at halfway through a story. Action-wis... read more
Master Mao Shan and his four best students?Wind, Thunder, Rain, and Lightning, are searching the countryside for Vampires. No one does Vampire films like this. Plenty of sword play. While searching they stumble on the lair of King Vampire and this dude can fight.. The film is ful... read more
Worst and cheesy Hong Kong action horror film of students battling zombies in 19th-century China by Tsui Hark.
It's more silly than scary and relies excessively on surprisingly low-rent CGI effects and crude wirework to drum up interest in the slight story. An uninspired addition to the generally endearing subgenre.
To be honest, I've been behind on my little list of watched film that need to be rated, so I only recall that this one meanders around way too much for its own good and never really grabbed my attention with either the martial arts nor the horror elements on display.

Story was kind of weak. Fighting sequences were great. The vampires were scary floating around and even upside down. The zombie were weird and not really scary when they hop around a lot, but when they fight they were cool.
The most funny and strange vampire/zombie hybrid with samurai blend. Loved watching this, kept me laughing.
The thrill is mostly gone in this supernatural mess. Full Review
Project has the stench less of rotting flesh than the whiff of a thoughtless quickie. Full Review
Pleasantly cheesy but undistinguished martial-arts and horror fare. Full Review
You begin to realize that whatever name they want to give this dish, the chief ingredients remain ham, cheese and corn. Full Review
Anything that reminds us that there are mass-entertainment options beyond Hollywood's banal formulas is worthwhile. Full Review
An uninspired addition to the generally endearing subgenre. Full Review
The film's action sequences have been staged with a dazzling finesse, and the look of the film is splendid. Full Review
Good and evil duke it out with swift-moving martial arts leaps and swordplay, action that's so finely sliced and diced that it never quite connects.
Most disappointing is Hark franchising his name before the sell-by date has expired on his own filmmaking career. Full Review
