For those that cannot read Chinese allow me to translate this for you, what were they thinking? This blog entry is about a recent movie that I found on Amazon and bought. Fortunately it was only eight dollars, but still I think I would of been better off using that eight dollars for a better movie! lol The movie is “Dating A Vampire” or “爱上尸新娘 “. Now some of you might be wondering, well why did you not check out some reviews before buying the movie? Well I checked probably a well known site for Hong Hong film lovers called lovehkfilm.com. I almost always refer to this website even though I often do not agree with some of the reviews. Even though I do not agree with a lot of the reviews, I still refer to them just because they have such a large database of Hong Kong movies. Well this movie I would definitely have to agree with them for being terrible.

The movie I felt like had some potential but as the movie drew closer to the end, it began to fall apart. Two college students decide to stay in one of their relatives apartment that is going to be torn down at the end of the month. Most of all the other residents have left and some even know about the “evil” that is going on in the apartment complex. Alex Fong and Sammy Leung pay no mind to the warning and decide to stay. Well as the story progresses Alex Fong falls in love with one of the vampires that is inhabiting the soon to be destroyed apartment complex.

The end of the movie began to get a little ridiculous and the special effects that were used when a vampire was killed was absolutely terrible. The original version of the Blob had better special effects. So I was somewhat pleased with the movie until about the last twenty minutes.

I am desperately trying to find a good scary Hong Kong movie. The only movie that I found that was good was “The Vampire Who Admires Me”. This movie was not at all scary but it was pretty funny. But I would like a scary one! Any recommendations?
