Chinese Horror Explained Ep 07 - GHOST IN BARBERS

Welcome back to our series on Chinese Horror Movies Explained, where we explore the wacky, silly and crazy world of C-Horror movies and explain to you how the filmmakers get around the strict regulations and censorship imposed upon them by the Chinese government.

After last week’s episode where we looked at a good movie, at least in my opinion, we are back to looking at the types of movies this series was created to explore: Filmoon movies!

Directed by the same director as Haunted Dormitory: Marionette Teacher, this is the first of two episodes where we will look at a few more of his movies.

The story behind this one is incredible. A young woman, her boyfriend, his secret lover and a tag-along love sick puppy go to the woman’s home village deep into the mountains to visit her father. He runs a Barbershop which doubles as a hotel. I told you: Incredible.

Staying at the hotel is a poacher, and the ghost which resides in the barbershop hates poachers. So guess what happens?

This is definitely a so bad its bad movie that has to been seen to be believed. And lucky for you, I’ve made a video below all about it. Enjoy, and I’d really love to know what you think about this film.

If you liked the video and want to see more, check out my weekly column here on All Horror for new episodes or subscribe to my YouTube channel to watch the episodes as they are released, as well as checking out some more of my Asian horror movie reviews and subtitle trailers.

The Arty Dans

I've decided to dedicate my horror movie knowledge to Chinese horror movies - from the mainland, not Hong Kong or Taiwan. These are the stranger than strange, the weirder than weird and the badder than bad! Can they even be classed as horror films?
