Review
by Kozo: |
Ultra-cheap
horror quickie from Wong Jing's factory that would be a serviceable
diversion if it were made in 1989. Sadly, it isn't 1989 anymore.
Anthony Wong and Gigi Lai are a couple who move into mom's
home - except the house is haunted. Apparently, the house
was built on the "Gateway to Hell", which means
lots of spirits wander through there every day. That isn't
to mention the usual evil spirits, who do things like kill
neighbors, make prank phone calls, and generally make life
unpleasant. Overall this is
typical horror stuff which succeeds at being mildly diverting.
The ins and outs of the horrific events are explained matter-of-factly,
and the atmosphere is creepy enough - when it isn't noticeably
cheap. Boring interludes punctuate the proceedings, which
doesn't help much. At the very least, this is a nifty time
killer for fans of Anthony Wong or Gigi Lai. Otherwise there's
nothing much here to write home about. (Kozo 1998) |
