I've come across most genres but not horror. I know that Japanese horror about the girl who crawls out of the telly is popular here, though i'm not sure why, the scene where one victim lifts up her bed sheet to find that same long-haired, Chrissie Hindes looking goth crouched there between her legs just got me horny. You'd have either knocked her out or pulled the sheet back over her head. Same goes for that little pale-faced boy who kept appearing when someone turned around, he'd have gotten walloped: "Woah, sorry son, you startled me. Just hold your head back, that'll stop the bleeding." But back to the point, anyone out there know any Chinese horror worth a look-see?

Never heard of or seen one. The genre is probably not on the harmonious approval list.
There's a few HK horror ish films I've seen. Dumplings is one directed by Fruit Chan 陳果 (don't know why he's called himself Fruit Chan, sounds more Japanese to me.. ) not as scary as the Ring by any means, more disturbing than scary. Japanese horror films are scariest by far!
Just look to the outside world through your window. You'll have one in cinemascope.
any flying kung-fu and historical dramas are horror to me
I actually asked one of my classes this very question... none of them could really answer it ..... at most they said my HK had made some movies. But as for Mainland China it was essentially a no
Horror films are made by people who are sophisticated enough to know that they are not real. Most people in China believe in ghost and would mistake the happenings of the movie with real life. And that would be a very dangerous scene, people stampeding over each other to escape the theater.
Yes, and they are a lot funnier than Chinese comedies.
Yes, I've seen many horror-ific films here! Hahaha!
