Reviews from Letterboxd:
-
Zombieflesh – ★★★½
“Starts as a goofy buddy comedy, ends in blood-splattered ghostly mayhem. The tonal shift is abrupt, but somehow it works. One of the more unusual jiangshi-style horrors I’ve seen.” -
Dennis Vehlen – ★★★★
“Ronny Yu’s ‘The Trail’ is Hong Kong horror done right – a straightforward plot with a good cast and a lot of atmosphere. The monster, a sulphur zombie out for revenge, looks pretty menacing and is used just right.” -
Lou (rhymes with wow!) – ★★★★
“An excellent supernatural revenge/adventure/monster movie from Ronny Yu. The stolen score from John Carpenter’s The Thing remake works surprisingly well for this movie. It’s atmospheric, creepy, and totally weird in that unique Hong Kong way.” -
TheL0wRez – ★★★
“Some of the humor doesn’t land, but the back half delivers on classic HK horror vibes. Definitely one for fans of the jiangshi subgenre.” -
Toma – ★★★½
“Reminded me of a more serious Mr. Vampire with some surprisingly decent gore and creepy visuals. Love how strange and unpredictable it is. A hidden gem!”
