Title: The Trail - 追鬼七雄 Year: 1983 Country: Hong Kong Language: Cantonese | Mandarin Subtitles: Chinese Genre: Aventure, Comedy, Horror Size: 370 MB Media: MKV Cast: Kent Cheng, Anthony Chan, Fu Hung Cheng, Tat-wah Cho, Fat Chung, Sai Aan Dai, Fung Feng, Victor Hon, Rayond Hui, Ricky Hui, Yat Fan Lau, Mars, Tien Miao, Chin Ku Ma “The Trail” is an early film from Hong Kong director Ronny Yu, best remembered for his classic “The Bride with White Hair”, and who would later go on to underwhelm horror fans with “Freddy vs. Jason”. “The Trail” is a ghoulish treat which provides a showcase for the talents Yu once displayed before being tempted into becoming a booster for tired Hollywood franchises. Despite a handful of modern trappings, including a rather shamefully stolen soundtrack, Yu crafts an incredibly atmospheric slice of uniquely Eastern horror, which is rich with morbid mysticism and stunning visuals. The plot begins as a young man is murdered whilst trying to protect his wife from the advances of a sleazy landlord, and is drowned in an aquarium for his troubles. Trying to cover up his crime, the killer leaves the corpse with two priests, Captain (Kent Cheng, star of the cat III classic “Run and Kill”) and his sidekick Ying (Ricky Hui, also in the cult favourite “Mr. Vampire”), who guide the recently dead to their places of rest (in the ‘hopping’ zombie/ghost style). It transpires that the two are actually part of a gang of incompetent opium smugglers, and their bumbling results in the corpse being lost in the depths of a swamp. But the dead husband soon resurfaces as a vengeful zombie that tries to murder the smugglers and all who cross its vengeful path, leaving it up to the rascally priests to try to stop its rampage. p/s (if using MPC player go to Navigate --> Audio Language --> choose Cantonese) Filesonic http://www.filesonic.com/file/1476560081 Wupload http://www.wupload.com/file/61211714 Fileserve http://www.fileserve.com/file/H4GJbkJ
