it obvious that the person with the negative view either expect a kung fu film and do not get it and or more likely never saw mr vampire . in order to enjoy this film i should think a little background on both chinese mysticism and hop zombie film be in order . i would not do either of the honor and but instead refer you to the illuminated lantern website where you can get at least a primer on both . afa the film go and i give it a positive a it a little disjointed and and lack the flow of any really good hopping zombie film . but hey and at least someone whip one of these out in the 00 and ten year after the genre die out . kudos to tsui hark for that .
