Jiang shi xin zhan shi

This is quite possibly one of the worst films I've ever seen. The title suggests some classic HK hokey fun, akin to, say, the obscurely named star-vehicle The Twins Effect. By the way, if anyone reading this review has seen and enjoyed Vampire Warriors, I refer you to The Twins Effect to see how it could be done SO much better. However, there is zero fun, originality or creativity in VW. I guess it's low budget, but I've seen a lot of films with equally small budgets that were much better; this is no excuse for the lame, tedious fare on display. Things I hated about this film include the stupid echo-ey quality of the vampire's voices, the really obvious wire work, the appalling lack of story, lame dialogue, pedestrian acting, uninteresting locations.....the list goes on. But perhaps the most unforgivable sin is that it was intended to be funny, or at the very least slightly amusing, but it fell flat on it's face at every turn. Admittedly, I only saw the first 25 minutes, but I was just about ready to saw off my own leg and eat it by that point, so rather than needlessly lose a limb, or stick pins in my eyes, I watched another film instead.
