Genre: Fantasy

Cyborg She
Mar 4, 2015Kwak Jae-Young has a PhD in stirring emotions and this film has more heart-pulling moments of manipulative magic than a room full of kittens playing with balls of string.
-
D-War
Mar 4, 2015I’m normally a sucker for a cheesy monster movie but ‘D-War’ fails to produce the goods on just about every level.
-
Daimajin
Mar 4, 2015A Japanese monster movie with a samurai twist, ‘Daimajin’ from 1966 is a slowburn film that is part period drama and part giant stone man Kaiju extravaganza.
-
Deadful Melody
Mar 5, 2015If you like your early 90s wuxia flicks full of excessive theatrical action and characters then ‘Deadful Melody’ is a lot of fun.
-
Deadly Dream Woman
Mar 5, 2015A deeply unfunny comedy from director Taylor Wong who allows all pace and narrative flair to disappear out of the window after the first ten minutes.
-
Death Note
Mar 6, 2015Right from the opening, it’s blatantly obvious that ‘Death Note’ is skipping some of the more important and enjoyable aspects of the story.
-
Death Trance
Mar 6, 2015‘Death Trance’ isn’t quite as good as ‘Versus’ but is nevertheless a visually striking, always creative and if a little slow in pace at stages, still packed with great Eastern flavoured action.
-
Demon Of The Lute
Mar 6, 2015Mainstream Hong Kong cinema has often embraced the bizarre and the baffling, but ‘Demon Of The Lute’ may be a step too far for many.
-
Detective Dee And The Mystery Of The Phantom Flame
Mar 7, 2015Impressive production values, an excellent cast and a few moments of genuine inspiration (courtesy of Sammo Hung’s action choreography) make the minutes fly be.
-
Detective Dee: The Four Heavenly Kings
Jul 30, 2018Much like the first two Dee flicks, ‘The Four Heavenly Kings’ is an often breathless fantasy blockbuster that doesn’t skimp on the wuxia action, CGI wonderment and imaginative scenarios.
-
Devils
Jan 8, 2024A sort of mix between ‘Freaky Friday’ and ‘Face/Off’ but with a lot bloodier horror and grimness, ‘Devils’ is some tough, grue splattered, body-swap thrills.
-
Ditto
Mar 8, 2015The Korean hit makes ample use of the fine chemistry between its two main stars and the inherent interest generated by such a workable premise.
