Although now this film is a little older, it's been a long time since something like this has been done in Chinese cinema. Sleazy, dark, gory and disgusting Gong Tau brings back sicko Hong Kong style nastiness with proficiency and style by veteran director Herman Yau who made waves with Catagory III classics The Untold Story and The Ebola Syndrome. This tells a story similar to Shaw Brothers classic Black Magic or The Eternal Evil Of Asia. Mark Cheng and Lam Suet do an excellent job in this police procedural gone supernatural horror. This extremely dark thriller has all the creepy centipede vomit splatter with Asian esoteric dark magic and extreme bloodshed and gore. It is not often that this sort of thing is done in modern Hong Kong cinema and I found Gong Tau to be a glorious return to depraved sort of filmmaking that I would like to see more often.
