Reception
A 2009 review states that "This is an odd one in that it uses the traditional kyonsi and yet throws in a Western horror sensibility (most notably, I thought, borrowing from the zombie genre in tone) as well as throwing in a more traditionally Hong Kong cinema sense of humour."[1] This comment is confirmed by a retrospecteive review: "It was like a ride back into the horror comedy films that proliferated in the late 1990s in fare like Bio-Zombie, the Troublesome Night films and the anthologies with times in the title like Midnight Zone and 1 a.m. The only thing it was missing was an appearance from Helen Law Lan who was in nearly all the horror films of that period."[2] This statement is confirmed again by yet another review but in a more negative approach: "Wong Jing should perhaps turn away from echoing the olden days while Cub Chien might blossom under someone else."[3]
Another review gives a mildly positive assessment: "The Vampire Who Admires Me is hard to rate as good, but it still amuses and is certainly better than other recent Wong Jing efforts."[4]
