Dumplings stuffed with diabolical fillings. Sword-wielding zombies.
Hopping cadavers. Big-head babies. For decades, Hong Kong cinema
has served up images of horror quite unlike those found in other
parts of the world. In seminal films such as A Chinese Ghost Story,
Rouge, The Eye, Dumplings, and Rigor Mortis, the region's
filmmakers have pushed the boundaries of genre, cinematic style,
and bad taste. But what makes Hong Kong horror cinema so utterly
unique? Why does it hold such fascination for "serious" cinephiles
and cult fans alike? Hong Kong Horror Cinema is the first
English-language study of this delirious and captivating cinematic
tradition, offering new insights into the history of Hong Kong
horror through case studies of classic films and through a detailed
consideration of their aesthetic power, economic significance, and
cultural impact in both the global and domestic market.
