Human Lanterns (1982)

Director: Chung Sun


Premise:
Two rivals go to great lengths to win a lantern contest.

My Take:
With a Shaw Brothers production the view kind of knows what to expect (lots of cool martial arts scenes and a bizarre script full of strange things). This one has a mysterious dude kidnapping young women and lanterns made out of flesh. I usually find the movies fairly watchable but just couldn't get into this one.

The version I watched may have been the censored DVD. As the gore was a minimum. Might have rated higher if it wasn't.


Rating: Warning (but probably closer to average)
