      Those past, should not be treated like this

      After watching it, the hot weather made my heart feel half cold.

          The ending of the story is like the quiet curtain call of a generation of brilliant zombie films. Did fantasy generate reality, or reality is rooted in fantasy, or the darkness of human nature originates from selfish desires, or selfish desires are born out of people's hearts, but the listeners have no intentions. , the viewer intends. The intricacies of life are just like this in the true and false, allowing time to...

      Horror movies also have themes

      Zombies are born from the grievances of the heaven and the earth. They are immortal, immortal and immortal. They are abandoned by the three realms of heaven, earth and human beings outside the six realms of sentient beings. They are undoubtedly displaced. They use resentment for profit and blood for food in the human world, and use the blood of all living beings to vent endless loneliness...

      Tribute to Hong Kong-made zombie films and mothers in the world!

      As the subject of an outdated Hong Kong-made zombie film, it is quite good and well-made. The screenwriter is also very ingenious. The plot reversal after the final climax is the finishing touch of the whole story. It pays tribute to the glory and end of Hong Kong-made zombie films through a passing star. To paraphrase Patton, a good actor should retire after the last shot of the last great work, hehe.
      Because of the tragic death of her son, Hui Yinghong's usual cowardly eyes became...

      Very sincere, qualified standard!

      The whole film is filled with a nostalgic atmosphere. In terms of plot, it is far from the familiar zombie films of the past. It is a combination of Japanese and American styles. We need to start from human nature to promote the plot. To be honest, the plot is not enough, and it doesn’t look like a lot of substitution. If it weren’t for the fact that several actors were all acting, it would be difficult to pass such a plot, and the ending was too rushed. , It gives the impression that there is...

      Ups and downs, finally come back here


           A few days ago, on the bus, my colleague asked me if I believed in fortune-telling. I thought about it, and I believed it.
           Don't say I'm superstitious, I even believe in ghosts. You can't deny that you don't exist if you don't see it. Just like the magnetic field, you can't see it, can you deny it?
            Whether it is folklore or unofficial mythology, it has existed for thousands of years. Some people say that it is unscientific. There is no clinical proof of...

      The atmosphere, temperament and taste of this film are very similar to "The Homecoming of the Three Watches", and the creation of the visual image is even more exciting to the point of suffocation, but the story is really a bit messy, but the suspense and horror are really enjoyable, regardless of the tribute First of all, the film's corpse-refining ritual is similar to that of "The Conjuring", and the actors are also very good. In short, I think this is the most awesome horror film after...

    Background creation

    "Rigor Mortis" has been in preparation for two years. JunoMak, who has turned from a singer to an actor, personally completed the script and directed the film for the first time. He intends to innovate the smashing Hong Kong-produced Rigor Mortis genre in the 1980s. He expressed his love since childhood. Watching Rigor Mortis movies, I really hope that the ancestors of the Rigor Mortis series Ma Lin Zhengying and Xu Guanying will...

    Evaluation action

    "Rigor Mortis" can be described as a "love letter" from JunoMak to Hong Kong movies. Chin Siu-Ho's Rigor Mortis film star "Xiaohao" is a portrayal of his ups and downs in acting life. Chin Siu-Ho shows off the superstar's feeling of despair. Even if he is beaten by Rigor Mortis and can't fight back, he still remembers to put on his sunglasses and play cool. Chin Siu-Ho's high-spirited group photos with Maggie Cheung, Chow Yun-fat, and...
