Finale in Blood (1993)
Reviewed by: mrblue on 2011-07-09
On the surface, 1993's Finale in Blood would appear to be pretty much your standard Hong Kong ghost movie. However, in one of his first efforts as a director, arthouse favorite Fruit Chan plays with the genre a bit, adding in a bit of flavor that was seemingly influenced by the filmography of the Coen Brothers. This doesn't totally elevate Finale in Blood from the realm of the average, but it at least creates some interest and sets the film apart from the crowded pack of ghost-themed productions, which as one of the more popular permutations of Hong Kong cinema has seen dozens (if not hundreds) entries delivered to audiences over the years.
