Taan shiu hung chow

I loved the English language title,Dial D For Demons. The movie? Not so much. The movie starts quite goofy, more like a teen comedy than the movie gets dark, super dark. The tone being kind of all over the place is not uncommon for Hong Kong cinema as a whole. But that is only one problem and as a whole is a hard watch as the storytelling is all over the place and not fluent at all. If you watch until the end, everything is explained and it all makes sense. There is some good stuff here, Jordan Chan is cool and once the film goes full tilt, it does deliver supernatural terror(and when it doesn't) it goes way over the top and is really funny. Some of the CG effects are really bad. But really, the story is good, but the process of putting that story on screen was not done well. Dial D For Demons could have been much better, but also is still a watchable, but very flawed film. I have seen better Asian supernatural horror movies and this one is not very recommended.
