where the japanese have taken the american/italian horror film and perfected it ... the chinese seem to take their inspiration from Bollywood.

Sorry urgeok, I know you know your stuff most of the time, but HK cinema really has nothing to do with Bollywood at all ... I have watched quite a few Bollywood films as well and the two are worlds apart Completely unrelated in anyway,
If you don't like the more fantasy HK films I would still strongly recommend "Untold Story" at least.
For me I like the way the chinese are able encompass many genres in one movie, I think its a postive, you just have to leave your westernised idea of film making at the door and watch them as an entity in their own right.
... but everyone has their own taste ...
