INEXTERNAL: Don’t Miss The Trailer For Yuen Kim Wai’s Supernatural Martial Arts Thriller!

I’m late as hell to the party on this and only because my eyes can only reach so far. That fact is all but clear when reminded of how I tried to catch Yuen Kim Wai’s latest Hong Kong martial arts action thriller, Inexternal, during its run at the 24th edition of the New York Asian Film Festival, and those efforts wouldn’t come to pass, sadly. The good news? Emperor Motion Pictures have since released the film locally in theaters, and with any luck, fans of the genre on this side of the water will be able to take a gander at what Legally Declared Dead helmer Yuen Kim Wai proffers for his latest return to the big screen. I don’t know what or when, though it would be nice if a familiar label keen on titles like this picked it up. Tsui Chak-ming has been badly beaten and left […]

Lee B. Golden III

This year’s Hong Kong FilMart stirred plenty of attention with a raft of high-profile Asian titles out of Hong Kong and China. Alan Lo’s feature debut, Zombiology: Enjoy Yourself Tonight, is certainly one of those titles as it now heads for a June 29 release in Hong Kong while maintaining its competitive festival trajectory toward Neuchâtel and Sitges. Based on a popular novel, Michael Ning and Louis Cheung star as two slick-talking, wayward losers in the midst of their own family peril and romantic woes while forced to deal with an impending zombie apocalypse. What seemingly ensues is absolute chaos and fun with the newest official trailer now online and pulling out a number of stops to promise an explosive, action-packed action horror romp as an impressive freshman outing that would make the likes Bruce Campbell and Edgar Wright proud. Also starring are Alex Man, Carrie Ng, Cherry Ngan and […]
