Review
by Kozo: |
First of all: this movie has nothing to do with the famed
virtual pet. Instead, it’s the latest “date” horror
flick from Wellson Chin, the mastermind behind Thou Shalt
Not Swear and The Day that Doesn’t Exist. The literal
Cantonese title for the film translates into English as April
4th. Not surprisingly, that's the featured day of darkness
in this horror exercise. All of the evil surrounds a little
girl (Wong Man-Yi) who was witness to her parents’ murder
as well as numerous other deaths. Dayo Wong is the cop who’s
investigating the murders, and Ruby Wong is his social worker
girlfriend who gets involved with the little girl. Big surprise:
it turns out that something about this little tyke isn't all
that nice and it’s offing people left and right. Figuring
in is horror staple Law Lan, who’s on hand to try to take
out the kid herself. This installment is low on the comedy,
but heavy on the dark stuff. There isn’t much to get excited
about in this film, but the creepy handling makes this a decent
watch. Just don’t expect The Shining. (Kozo 1997) |
