Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

movieman_kev Master Mao Shan is separated from his four best warriors, Wid, Thunder, Rain, and Lightning, during the midst of a battle with the undead. So they decide to go undercover as servants in order to search for a vampire who they believe is nearby. That's the main plot, but there's many sub-plots and a tad too many characters. But the action scenes are pretty good. And while this is among my least favorite Tsui Hark films, that's more a statement of how much I enjoy his movies than an indictment of this one. Truth be told, I'm kinda hesitantly reviewing this title as the Tristar version is cut by numerous minutes, making the ending more optimistic, so if you ever pick up the un-edited version get in touch with me to tell me how different it is. And if I ever see the original version I,of course, will revise my review accordingly.My Grade: C- DVD Extras: Trailers for "Cowboy Bebop", "National Security", and "Time and Tide"

thebludgeon This movie fails on many levels. The plot is non-sensical, the heroes aren't heroic, the humor is humorless, nothing is really explained. Maybe it's a Chinese thing, but the dead becoming zombies becoming vampires? Vampires that suck blood like a Hoover? Why can't wax zombies move their legs independently? The "Vampire Hunters" seem to be only "Vampire Finders" as they run away whenever confronted! Parts of the movie look like poor send ups of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video. I am glad I am part of a movie club and didn't pay good money to rent this. Save yourself some time and aggravation and put this back on the shelf and move on.

ddelwood let's be honest, when you pick up a dubbed/subtitled cantonese vampire flick, you probably aren't expecting to find a diamond in the rough. my friends and i got exactly what we expected and laughed through the whole thing (ok, some parts were seen at 4x). the music - horrible. the sets - sort of interesting since they were other-culture-ish. the acting - terrible. the dialogue - beautifully terrible. in fact its substrate such as this which really hones down my 'terrible chinese dialogue shtick' that makes me so popular at parties. oh and the vampire - yikes. we're talking bundle of sticks glued together. worse than 4th grade halloweeen stuff.overall - great movie since its so bad....

monkey__tail I think Vampire Hunters is a pretty good movie. Although it isn't breaking new ground, for most american viewers it will seem a little odd that the vampires in the movie are more corpse like than you expect to see, but in most if not all accounts of vampirism in the middle ages and earlier periods vampires were refered to as animated corpses, not strikingly beautiful creatures with tragic stories. So if you're looking to see a decent horror movie will "realistic" vampires, this would be worth seeing. Two top notch performances in the film are those of Anya, who plays a young widow, and Zou Na, who plays a servant.
