Rigor Mortis
Directed by Juno Mak
Once a successful actor, Chin Siu-Ho becomes suicidal when his career slows down and his wife leaves him. Unable to afford his former lifestyle, Chin moves into a dilapidated tenement building where a host of supernatural entities and spiritualists populate the halls, sparking a series of strange events. Juno Mak’s Hong Kong horror pays tribute to the Chinese horror series MR. VAMPIRE, featuring many of the same cast members. Mixing influences from his own cinematic culture as well as drawing from the Japanese and Korean horror boom of the 90s and 00s, Mak creates an engaging slow burn horror with a deliciously dark aesthetic. Contains strong language, sexual scenes, violence and gore.
Supernatural chaos erupts in an abandoned apartment block when a washed up movie star arrives.
Cast: Anthony Chan, Yau Siu-Ho, Fat Chung

well done
this was the 2nd time I have watched this movie.. it wass the 2nd time it was AWESOME!
Exceptional production of Chinese metaphysical existence, with and without the supernatural, through a suicidal actor's presence in a high-rise tenement. The actor's arrival triggers the dormant spirits that dwell in his apartment, and who then unleash a torrent of anguish. Fantastic visual effects and cinematography.
