The feature debut by Taiwanese director I-fan Wang tells a story whose sociopolitical commentary becomes obvious right from the very first image. “If you choose the wrong movie, you only have to wait 90 minutes; if you choose the wrong legislator, you have to wait four years” is the opening text to “Get the Hell Out”, a wild mixture of horror film and comedy, which is now screening at genre festivals such as Fantasy Filmfest 2020.

Rick (Roy Cheung) barely escapes being captured by the police headed up by the Superintendent (Kara Hui). Plotting revenge, he hires a motley collection of misfits in China to use as a diversion from his actual intentions. Bringing them back to Hong Kong, he plans for them to rob a bank whilst he captures a politician and the superintendent.
