Character evaluation
Mr. zombie, directed by Liu Guanwei, has opened up an important type of Hong Kong films - zombie films. Liu Guanwei is also known as the "founder" of zombie films. He showed a lot of genius in Mr. zombie. "Zombie jump", the design of using glutinous rice, ink line and suffocating to deal with zombies, has been used in all the following works of zombie movies. Although Mr. zombie is a horror film, Liu Guanwei adds a lot of comedy elements to it, which largely dispels the horror atmosphere of the film. His comedy is not his lines, but his body language. He doesn't have to listen to it. He just looks at the pictures and feels funny. (film review)
