I stumbled upon the 1983 Hong Kong horror movie "Mo" (aka "The Boxers Omen") by random chance here in 2023. And never having heard about it or seen it before, and with my love of Asian cinema, of course I opted to sit down and watch the movie.
I didn't know what I was in for here, nor what to expect, so writers Chih-Hung Kuei and On Szeto had every opportunity to impress and bedazzle me with this movie.
However they failed to do so most horribly. The storyline in "Mo" was rubbish. It was a chaotic mess of a storyline that was all over the place, but being nowhere all the same. So there was very little entertainment and enjoyment to be found in this movie from director Chih-Hung Kuei.
It was fun, however, to see Bolo Yeung show up in the movie, but trust me, it doesn't make up for all the shortcomings of the movie.
My rating of "Mo" lands on a one out of ten stars. It simply isn't worth the effort to sit down and watch this 1983 movie.
