Three Imaginary Girls
RIGOR MORTIS functions best as an above-average fright flick, distinguished by its sense of supernatural folklore -- scads more imaginative than its Western counterparts -- and Mak’s eye for bizarre close-ups...
A.V. Club

Juno Mak's film is gorgeously-crafted, with an array of odd characters and eerie moments.

The muted tones, fresh ideas and eerie atmosphere combine for a genuinely unsettling and constantly inventive take on the haunted house formula.

Rating: 2/5 --
Roll our eyes we might, but importantly we never look away in fright, simply because the horrors always remains on screen.

Little White Lies
Rating: B- --
By combining Chinese and Japanese aesthetics, Rigor Mortis also becomes a sometimes fun, sometimes original shout-out to the East's rich and varied horror film culture.

The Film Stage
Product Description:
A weary ex-vampire hunter moves into a run-down housing estate, and contends with a ghoulish collection of bloodsuckers, ghosts, and zombies in this stylist tribute to the popular "Geung Si" horror films of the 1970s, '80s, and '90s. Once upon a time, Chin Siu-ho (Siu-Ho Chin) was a famous actor who slew vampires on the side. These days Chin's bank account is empty, and his family won't talk to him. Deeply despondent, he checks into room 2442 of a dilapidated tower block with the full intention of taking his own life. Chin's suicidal ambitions are quickly thwarted, however, when he crosses paths with his eccentric new neighbors, which include a powerful Taoist exorcist (Anthony Chan), a deeply-troubled housewife (Kara Hui) and an old lady (Paw Hee-ching) with a morbid flair for interior design. It doesn't take Chin long to realize that something terrible is unfolding before his frightened eyes, and as the dead begin to rise, the battle against the forces of darkness commences.
