| Writer I Kuang apparently wanted a Dracule type story produced at Shaw's but with an original twist. Well, he certainly delivered one for director Kuei Chih-Hung (The Killer Snakes) to shoot but as Antonio Ho's vampire sells contact lenses to his unsuspecting victim (Chan Si Gaai), you can't help but to feel the whole premise is pure silliness. Thankfully director Kuei collaborates once more with cinematographer Yu Chi to strong effect, churning out some high quality visuals along the way. The team also saves the day by amplifying the blood and guts for the finale so at least the entertainment value all round is cemented. Weak compared to prior works though. One of the other positives of Ghost Eyes is the casting of Antonio Ho who makes a good Dracula-esque character through his sophisticated looks and presence. Also with Ha Ping, Wong Ching Ho and Lam Wai Tiu. |
