Reasonable movie for those who're interested, 20 August 2007
7/10
Author: Jin Wang from France

Normally I don't write reviews, since I think that not many people will read it anyway. However, with the few or one review out there I might give a try. Now the other guy has given a two, but that's too rash. This movie deserves better.

The theme itself is something quite extraordinary among the nowadays Hong Kong movies. So that's extra point and especially when the subject is quite appealing too. Gong Tau, to curse someone, is a subject we need to see more of. Unfortunately many of the movie aspects are poorly executed. The drama was bit annoying and drags on as the story continues. The only motive, which keeps you watching is too see how ridiculous funny it is to see the Gong Tau moves and motives. Exaggerated in some ways, but yet hilarious to see the dark and humorous computer effects.

You have been Gong Tau-ed and I rate this one a 7 for those who're interested in Black Magic and want a break of the current Hong Kong movies.
