The Vineyard: Directed by James Hong, William Rice. With James Hong, Karen Lorre, Michael Wong, Lars Wanberg. World famous winemaker Elson Po invites several actors to his estate to audition for a movie he’s financing. Little did they know, there is no movie, and Po hides a deadly secret.

“The Vineyard sees fan favourite James Hong return as one of his most loved characters Lo Pan (Big Trouble In Little China) of sorts, in his self directed horror comedy which has a number of Hong Kong stars on board as a vehicle to help kick start their career (which seems to have worked).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eReminding me of the classics like Mr. Vampire, Haunted Cop Shop, and Weu0026#39;re Going To Eat You; this great wee flick oozes that same appeal as those horror comedy HK classics of the 80u0026#39;s which also features an early role from Michael Wong (Beast Cops, First Option, Royal Warriors) which is comical in itself!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMassive Hong Kong producer and director Gordon Chan (2000 AD, The Four Trilogy, Painted Skin) co-produces the feature for Hong, as he creeps out the visitors of his vineyard island, posing as a film producer with a great location.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe plot is crazy, yet thatu0026#39;s what gives it the same charm of the 80u0026#39;s HK films I love. Zombies, gore, comedy, crazy SFX all come together in this unseen, underrated little gem that entertains without you having to think too hard!”
