It’s not often that when someone asks you what you’re watching, you can say with a straight face “A Hong Kong action horror kung fu comedy.” but that is exactly what Mr. Vampire, the 1985 genre mash-up directed by Ricky Lau, is. The film is a highly influential entry in the jiangshi film genre and combines slapstick comedy, kung fu, and horror to delightfully perplexing effect. The movie helped spawn a slew of copycats in the mid-late ’80s in China and has remained a cult favorite among fans of ridiculous horror comedy classics like Evil Dead II and Re-Animator.
