Mr. Vampire Presented by The Hong Kong Cinema Club “The film that, along with producer Sammo Hung’s Spooky Encounters, launched an entire hopping-vampire horror-comedy subgenre is Hong Kong cinema at its most gleefully inventive and gloriously unrestrained. The franchise’s recurring star Lam Ching-Ying plays a unibrowed Taoist priest who, when a bloodthirsty revivified corpse pogoes its way out of the grave and begins terrorizing his town, must use a mix of magic and kung fu to stop the mayhem. Unfortunately, his two bumbling assistants (Ricky Hui and Chin Siu-Ho) cause nearly as much trouble as the bouncing bloodsucker.” – Criterion Mr. Vampire will be presented uncut, from a recent 2K restoration, in its original Cantonese w/ English subtitles. Our event will include a preshow, trailer reel and themed-zine (Note: zines will be sold in-person). #### About the Show
