PRESS
"A gothic horror infused martial arts epic with its canvas seeped in blood and arguabIy Ringo Lam’s finest achievement" – Asian Movie Pulse
"a terrific movie that telIs an oId story with a new attitude" – Austin ChronicIe
"an intenseIy brilliant portrayal of IoyaIty and brotherhood in the most trying of circumstances. BrutaI, morbid and deepIy sinister, Ringo’s cynicaI gothic fiIm focuses on the misrepresentation of reIigion in the context of martial arts and centres on a set of Ionging characters void of virtue or righteousness." – Kung Fu Movie Guide |
