Well Go U.S.A.'s Rigor Mortis Sets In On July 8

An inspired homage to director Ricky Lau’s 1985 franchise launch of the Mr. Vampire series is what is in the offing on July 8.   That’s street date that Well Go U.S.A. has selected for Blu-ray and DVD editions of actor-turned-filmmaker Juno Mak's Rigor Mortis (presented in Cantonese with English subtitles).

Once famous actor (and vampire hunter) Chin Siu-Ho (Siu-Ho Chin — who starred as Chou Sheng in the original Mr. Vampire film) checks into one particular room — which he believes to be haunted — at a rundown tenement in Hong Kong with one purpose in mind.   He plans to kill himself.

But as events unfold after a failed attempt at doing himself in (yes, the room is in fact possessed by some pretty creepy spirits) and he subsequently crosses paths with a few of the bizarre fellow residents of the place (and we mean Bizarre with a capital B), his old instincts for taking on bloodsuckers just naturally kicks in and the war is on!
