The Wretched

[feral cat]

Chow Yung-Fat To Star In The Wretched

The Wretched begins as a classic tale of Master and Apprentice, with slices of black humour reminiscent of "J" and "K" in Men In Black. But events twist into horror as a wagon train of misguided travelers stumble upon the Monastery and unwittingly release the Undead locked within. When Rellik and Twenty-One return from the boy's first demonic bounty-hunt, they find themselves facing a jail-break like no other.

An original fusion of gothic western and classic horror, The Wretched is A Fistful of Dollars meets Dawn of the Dead.

No I think it's a US production ... how ever most of the HK horrors I have seen (They don't make that many) have been pretty good.

Untold Story
Story of Ricky
Mr Vampire
Close encounters of the spooky kind
seven seals (Tacky but fun)
Bride with the white hair
Chinese ghost story

i've got a number of weaker ones ...
i think that the classic Bride with White Hair and Chinese Ghost Story are great - but i have a lot of really weak entries that try too hard to encompass 8 genres at once.. and usually its a corny romance element that brings the whole story down.

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

I have Mr Vampire .. havent seen it yet though .. i see Zwoti cites it as a favorite so i'll have to check it out.

(hopefully it's not a 'hopping vampire' flick :D
