Great anthology film series


I watched both of these films on Amazon Prime, only hearing of their existence by searching through the Amazon app on my Roku player. While I don't think they're the greatest anthology horror films ever, they're definitely better and more entertaining than the vast majority of low budget horror films that I've seen in quite some time.

What I love the most is the use of localized (Hong Kong / China) traditions and supernatural beliefs. Part 2 of this film series has a story involving Ghost Festival, a localized ancient tradition that most of those in the western world are likely unfamiliar with. In a similar way, I was just as fascinated by the 3rd story in the first installment in this film series, involving a very localized Hong Kong tradition called Villain Hitting. It actually influenced me to start looking up info on these traditions. They're fascinating.

The biggest problem I found after watching these 2 films is that they don't seem to have any representation online. No official Facebook pages, no official website, nothing. Do film makers in Hong Kong not want their films to have internet presence?
