Viewing Notes

Slow moving and cryptic at times, this homage to the horror-comedy series Mr. Vampire still tied everything together in the end and I liked it quite a bit. I especially enjoyed the jumping vampire creature and some of the odd supernatural things. If you pay attention you’ll get the payoff, if not, then things will probably tend to not make sense.
