    Watchable, but nothing outstanding...

    I had never actually heard about this 1987 Hong Kong horror comedy titled "Ling Chen Wan Can" (aka "Vampire's Breakfast") prior to sitting down in 2023 to watch it for the very first time.

    And seeing that the movie had Kent Cheng on the cast list, I figured that there was a chance of this 1987 movie from writer Hing-Ka Chan and director Chung Wang to be a watchable one.

    The storyline in "Ling Chen Wan Can", as written by Hing-Ka Chan, was actually fair enough. I mean, it wasn't exactly the most creative or profound of storylines seen in horror comedy, but it worked out well enough. The movie was watchable, but hardly an outstanding gem in the Hong Kong horror comedy cinema. So I hadn't really been missing out on something great here.

    The acting performances in the movie were good.

    The special effects in the movie were adequate. I mean, the vampire make-up effects were a bit dubious, but it added a goofy element to the movie in a way.

    My rating of "Ling Chen Wan Can" lands on a five out of ten stars.

    a hidden 80's HK horror gem

    Although we are used to Hong Kong vampire horror films like SPOOKY ENCOUNTERS and the MR.VAMPIRE series, that depict Chinese hopping vampires ('jiang shi'), this little gem has a Western vampire ('xi xue gui') and starts with a reporter (a wonderful as always Kent Cheng) confronting the unstoppable monster in a neon-lit 80's Hong Kong. Excellent blend of horror and comedy, with solid direction, nice touches of gore FX and a nice mix of scares and laughs. A perfect midnight screening for fans of 80's HK horror and unfortunately they don't make them like that anymore...
