    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Story: Two guys that run a VCD shop in a shopping mall take their boss's car to get it repaired, on their way back they run over a guy. They rush to his help and the guy whispers something about a soft drink (chemical weapon) he was carrying. They make him drink some but he dies soon after and they decide to leave the body in the trunk of the car. They return to the shopping mall and go back to work, after a while they remember they forgot the body in the car and decide to check on it. When they arrive to the car the body is gone, and soon after the mall is crawling with Zombies. They find other survivors and fight for their lives to try to get out. [/FONT]

    Review: This is a horror comedy, there is just as much humour in the film as their is suspense and gore. This is a fresh and young approach to movie making, a product of popular subculture. The director Wilson YIP had a very interesting approach to how this movie looked and the general feel, its unlike most films you would see. At some points its as if this would be a video game that your are watching. The story was basic but how it was put together was very nice. But its not a new concept of using chemical warfare as a pretext for zombies and the special effects were on the amateur side but that gave the certain feel for the movie, it could have been done on purpose.

    The movie mainly focuses on a couple of main characters. In the beginning you have the characters each living their own lives competing with the other shops, but during the second half of the movie they all come together to try to survive. Their was a good evolution between these 2 extremes. The characters were all very unique and well played. Unlike the other movies we review this one really had a different style, its really hard to review it. With all the various elements in it you have to see it several times to really understand the deeper meanings. This movie holds a very good entertainment factor for the simple reason of the good evolution of the story, the characters and the eventual fight for survival. Basically you wont be bored while there is no action. We didn't have any trouble with the subtitles with the Mei Ah version. If you like movies that deal more with the subculture mixed in with the element of horror you'll enjoy this one. Its definitely not your average film and we think that it's the kind of movie you will like or you hate totally.
