Although this movie isn't totally one-of-a-kind, it's one of my favorites among the Hong Kong horror genre. Most of this is attributed to its atmospheric style. It has enough similarities with a run-of-the-mill HK horror movie, which makes it easy to watch. You'll probably find the humour sprinkled along the scares in this movie doesn't tone it down, but rather balances it. It also offers a few twists to the genre. For example the primary venue used may not be what you expect : ). As far as characters go, they are all quite evenly developed, though not splendidly. HK horror in general often has that one guru/mentor and this one is no exception. It also helps that the climax is very nicely built up, suitably and satisfying finished off with a thrilling and spooky ending... accompanied by a track that you are likely to remember for the rest of your life, in the back of your mind.

This is a movie which depicts what happens in the real world. The world is full of crime,drugs and many other violent and deadly things that; as the future generation have to deal with on a daily basis. Talento de barrio was film in some of Puerto rico truly bad neighborhoods but it shows that even in the worst of places you still could change your destiny and be an inspiration to others. This is what the latin hip hop and regeaton generation have been doing for sometime know..

out of all modern korean martial arts movies this one is worth checking out. It wasn't as epic as Musa-The Warriors and didn't develop the characters as well, but it had many nice ideas. Simple story: a elite soldier thought dead, returns after years to end the reign of the Japanese in Korea in medieval days. His counterpart was formerly the best friend he had and now he is out to stop him. The fight scenes are all with sword or different weapons and very entertaining to watch. The motives of the figures are discovered first near to the end. You might need to watch it again to get all the connections right. And me personally...I loved the end. I could watch it over and over again. Maybe a little pathetic, but a real freedom fighter story....

family buys a large apartment in a high rise development and strange things begin to happen. Seems that years ago this was squatter territory and when the government reclaimed the land (The Chinese reclamation of Hong Kong?) the squatters were run off and many people killed. Now, this family consists of mom, dad, and Chi Lo, and Chi Lo mysteriously disappears from a birthday party for one of the neighbors kids. Mom sees him go over the wall of the high rise and while his toy tractor is found, he isn't. Mom apparently isn't too tightly wrapped anyway, so she and her husband conduct a frantic search for the child because the police aren't really doing much. It seems that somewhere in this huge apartment building there is one of the former squatters that has claimed Chi Lo for her own and moves around through the ventilation system. Mom figures this out, dad helps and ends up in hospital for his trouble while mom continues to hysterically search for her son, leading the neighbors to think she's quite unstable. This isn't a bad little thriller, much more a thriller than straight-out horror, really. There's some time spent showing how this former squatter woman reached the state that we see her in and you can only sympathize with her despite her appearance and the fact that she's taken someone else's child. Overall I kind of liked this but it could have used a bit more "oomph" or something.

The homicidal Shivers the Clown escapes from an institution and resumes his obsessed hunt for Lynn Blodgett, this time with two homicidal friends. But Detective Peters, the man who stopped him he man who stopped him in the first film, is also back, and this time he is more interested in putting Shivers in the ground than behind bars.
