The Good, the Bad and the Dead

• A good comedy horror that brings you back to the 80s when 'jiangshi', or Chinese 'hopping' zombies, films are a trend in Hong Kong.
• Unfortunately, the film is poorly directed despite its good plot making it difficult for the viewers to enjoy the film.
• The film used an appropriate amount of CGI that does not made the vampires look too fake or unrealistic.

Best Watched With

• Fans of the classic 'jiangshi' themed films who will be excited to see the return of veteran actor, Yuen Biao, who previously acted in a lot of jiangshi films.
