Story:
A movie theater in Hong Kong is showing its last movie
on new years eve before closing. Yang Yang who works
there as a projector operator decides to bring his girlfriend
along as they are going out after his work shift. Everything
seems ordinary until Yiu Yiu disappear in the empty
movie theater. Yang Yang goes to look for his girlfriend
and find her severed head that is possessed by some
spirit. After fighting off the possessed flying head
of Yiu Yiu, the theater staff encounters other monsters
along the way. They try to escape the movie theater
but are trapped, they have no choice but to fight off
the monsters to survive.
Review: After the first 15 minutes you will
realize that this movie is not serious, with all the
cheesy special effects accompanied by a cheesy storyline.
This is not a serious horror movie, you can even call
it a comedy. In our opinion this is a fun movie to
laugh about all the silly stuff that go on. Another
thing we noticed that there are certain scenes that
seem to be tributes to other movies like Evil Dead,
Troublesome Night, Demons, Trainspotting and Ghostbusters.
The story is really basic if you can even call it
a story.
The characters are all very funny in this movie,
considering that there is no real storyline there
is no development of the characters. Its not the kind
of movie for deep and inspired characters. None the
less they keep you entertained during the movie with
mostly slapstick comedy. The story is basically a
context for the gruesome and cheesy deaths of the
characters. So don't wait for any deep emotions at
the death of your favorite character other than laughing
out loud.
The special effects and action scenes are extremely
low budget, but it really does not matter. The low
budget look adds more to this film than it takes away.
Its the kinds of movie were the people got together
to have fun rather than make a movie, this could be
felt while watching this movie. Don't go looking for
errors in any of the special effects as you will find
a truck load, its almost homemade. Just sit back and
have fun.
The subtitles were of excellent quality and there
was not too much dialog. There is not too much to
write about this film but don't take that as a bad
sign since this a pretty good movie. This is the kind
of movie you rent on a Friday night with a bunch of
friend and have fun watching (Hmm seems like we wrote
this line before for another review). If you try to
take this movie seriously you'll probably not like
it one bit, this movie is good for anyone who can
appreciate low budget humorous horror.

DVD
[ NTSC, All Region
] :
The picture quality was average for a Hong Kong movie
and the sound was surround 5.1. The extras include:
A trailer of the movie, a trailer of another movie
called [He's my enemy, partner and father-in-law],
chapter selection and Cast and Crew info. At least
this time the menu's were not that cheesy as the other
Mei Ah releases.
