Anton Bitel Little White Lies Jul 20, 2020
mixing and matching with wild abandon scenes of knockabout comedy, wire-wrought martial arts, monster horror and wacky dancing. Go to Full Review Dallas King Flick Feast Nov 12, 2022
3/5
The fight scenes are superbly choreographed, energetically shot and breath new (after)life into the film... It is fangtastically good fun. Go to Full Review Chase Burns The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Dec 8, 2021
Jiangshi is a kind of hybrid vampire and zombie, but the film is generally fast and loose with its monsters. Consistency is not a strength of this era of Hong Kong horror, nor does anyone want it to be. Go to Full Review Chris Ward Flickering Myth Aug 1, 2020
Mr. Vampire is tremendous fun, full of atmosphere, funny and exciting in all the right doses. Go to Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Jul 26, 2020
"Mr Vampire" is a genre classic, whose amalgam of mainstream elements will satisfy any viewer who wants to have fun. Go to Full Review Kelechi Ehenulo VultureHound Jul 14, 2020
3.5/5
