Best HK Horror films?

When I first saw Devil Fetus, I needed a lie down afterwards!

The Mr Vampire and Spooky Encounters franchises have a special place in my heart. I love that 80s golden age

This looks pretty good...been wondering about this one for some time and stumbled upon the trailer today.

Curse (1985)

Watched Mad Mad Ghost,which has Lam Ching-Ying and some ghosts but is basically more of a comedy and pits our beloved Taoist (and his disciples) against 2 British treasure hunter baddies!

I actually thought this one was rather charming...not scary or creepy though.

Just finished watching The Dead and the Deadly.
More of chopsocky flick with some action/revenge/comedic/supernatural shenanigans.
A ghost enlists his friend to take revenge basically but it's more complicated than that.
Lam Ching-Ying is great as an elderly taoist btw.

Overall I wouldn't recommend this if you're looking for a "real" HK horror but it's still a fun watch.

Just stuck an order in for seeding of a ghost off amazon, all this talk of hk horror made me do it!

Spooky Encounters 2 - any other dvd besides the French one?

Finished watching Untold Story 2 (1997) and though not a real horror film it's a very dark Cat III thriller.
Only a sequel by name really but it does feature Anthony Wong,a restaurant and cannibalism!
This reminded me a lot of Intruder (1998) btw.
A very good Cat III offering imho that deserves the same status as a film like Red To Kill in my book.

Agreed and i recall enjoying the film too when Channel 4 screened it years ago. The part where the ghostly husband strides past his still-living wife and gives her a swift slap is class! "Bitch!"
