[hoppingghost]

Hello Board Members

Can anyone confirm if Cheang Pou-Soi (Director of Death Curse and Big Head Todd) is the same similar named Director of the Shu Qi film Koma 2? Releasing in October 2005...

Any news about whether this is the same director or not Is appretiated

Big Head Todd?

Monster, shurely?

If he is doing it, hopefully it will mark an improvement over both the other films you mention. NEW BLOOD, the film he did in between them, and his most underrated (and under-reviewed) film, is one of the best Hong Kong creep-outs in recent years. The man's got the gift for the mechanics of horror, so hopefully KOMA 2 will be fertile ground for his talents.

I'd rather see him do a LOVE BATTLEFIELD 2 (not a literal sequel, but something along those sort of lines).

So he did do this film Koma 2?

Let me know and thanks for your replies so far

[Mike Thomason]

Yes, yes he is the director of KOMA 2.

Here's a link to a brief synopsis...

...and from that, it sounds very much akin to his LOVE BATTLEFIELD (in that it's a dramatic thriller rather than the faux horror stylings of the first film...which I liked a lot).

Hope this answers everyone's questions?
