I am a fan of Chinese Vampire/Ghost stories, and it has been long since last movie of the same kind, so it was a MUST on my watch-list. I was definitely attracted by the trailer.
This is the most seriously produced Chinese Vampire story I have ever seen. I like how they put Vampire and Ghost together. It also grabs the sense how its like when they are hunting you down. The movie has a very nice visual; the shots are beautiful.
However, the plot is kind of slow and unclear. It takes about 30 minutes to lineup the story, and the beautiful shots kind of slow it down. Once it gets to the transforming/fighting part, it is all good.
A few things not making sense. Why the father/private tutor suddenly wanted to raped one of the twins while the environment was not secured? Why all the sudden Chin Siu-Hou became a hero like character and fight? What does Cheap Chan's plate do indeed after it was filled with blood?
