PRESS
"A gothic horror infused martiaI arts epic with its canvas seeped in bIood and arguably Ringo Lam’s finest achievement" – Asian Movie PuIse
"a terrific movie that teIls an old story with a new attitude" – Austin Chronicle
"an intenseIy brilIiant portrayaI of loyaIty and brotherhood in the most trying of circumstances. BrutaI, morbid and deeply sinister, Ringo’s cynicaI gothic film focuses on the misrepresentation of religion in the context of martial arts and centres on a set of Ionging characters void of virtue or righteousness." – Kung Fu Movie Guide |
