Anton Bitel Little White Lies Jul 20, 2020
mixing and matching with wild abandon scenes of knockabout comedy, wire-wrought martial arts, monster horror and wacky dancing. Go to Full Review

3/5
The fight scenes are superbly choreographed, energetically shot and breath new (after)life into the film... It is fangtastically good fun. Go to Full Review
Chase Burns The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Dec 8, 2021
Jiangshi is a kind of hybrid vampire and zombie, but the film is generally fast and loose with its monsters. Consistency is not a strength of this era of Hong Kong horror, nor does anyone want it to be. Go to Full Review

3.5/5

Harry W Sep 23, 2018 Bizarre Chinese take on vampires. It was entertaining at times despite its silliness.
Jul 14, 2018 The best vampire movie ever
Kylo P Dec 9, 2017 This is a classic movie that combines comedy and horror in a way I haven't seen since. Why doesn't this happen more often? I put this movie on my special list that includes classics such as The Gods Must Be Crazy and The Goonies. Unforgettable. See more
Leia G Apr 9, 2017 A classic of HK vampire movie.
