Murky, third-rate martial-arts film.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
It's a sloppy, fun, late-'80s style Hong Kong action flick full of pogo-dancing zombies and voracious vampires who look vaguely like Siamese cats with spoiled cottage cheese cooked onto their faces.
The finale is a near-abstract mess (decapitation, impalation, "Alien" birth) -- in an empathic gesture, the filmmakers end it all with a few sticks of TNT.

Pleasantly cheesy but undistinguished martial-arts and horror fare.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
A swift and amusing martial-action, adventure-horror picture with a bold, larger-than-life comic-book sensibility and richly atmospheric production design.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
It's more silly than scary and relies excessively on surprisingly low-rent CGI effects and crude wirework to drum up interest in the slight story.
Has the stench less of rotting flesh than the whiff of a thoughtless quickie.
