Taan shiu hung chow (2000) Reviews
Surprisingly good, scary ghost story...
1st watched 6/15/2002 - 6 out of 10(Dir-Hin Sang 'Billy' Tang): Surprisingly good, scary ghost story despite silly-sounding premise and an even sillier name for the movie. I was expecting a gross-out overdone and gory mess, but instead was presented with a transparent scary being that was not really seen but shown through wonderful camera work and blurred visions without much gore but real scary situations with actors and actresses who really do a good job of showing their fear in this unusual situation. This is basically a haunted house story but actually ends with a moral message about judging people who commit suicide. We don't find this out till very near the end and are basically scared out of our wits until this time. Despite the fact that I usually have a hard time with these kinds of movies, this one kept me enticed until the very end and had me looking around corners after it was over. That, if nothing else, is a good sign that this scary movie succeeded in what it wanted to do and for that alone it deserves some credit with the avalanche of scary movies that we are presented with each year that gross-out rather than scare us.
The most ridiculous ghost in the universe.
This movie doesn't really contain demons per se, but it does contain two things that the Chinese excel at in their horror films: an awful lot of running around and screaming and an incredible amount of folklore and legends crammed into a scary long-haired woman. I'll explain exactly what the ghost's problem is in a minute, so be alert that there's a SPOILER COMING! These oriental horror films often make so little sense it's good to have someone on hand to put it in black and white. So that's what I'm-a gonna do! The rest of the movie revolves around the evil ghost paging and texting the unfortunate idiots and then killing them with illusionary techniques or simply rendering tthem stone dead. HERE THEN IS THE GHOST'S BACKGROUND AND REASON FOR KILLING: The apartment in which the movie is set was inhabited by a woman whose husband would never come home as he was watching Manchester United play football. So she threatened to kill herself, at the same time burning a charcoal doll her husband had bought which was made of ancient Chinese soldiers who were burned alive by their treacherous lord. The husband wished the wife would shut up and kill herself, so she did. HOWEVER! She was cutting her wrists when the husband reconsidered and paged her back saying sorry, but on that day a meteorite fell to earth which caused all pager messages to be transmitted in reverse, so she killed herself and merged with the soldier spirit to become an evil ghost. OH REALLY DID SHE. But wait, there's more! She kills all those who wish to die... but as not all of the 'heroes' make such a wish, they worked in a newspaper and all of them ripped it out of the woman for comitting suicide. Yeah, cheers! So she brocks them all anyway for being chiefs. Well, there you go!
