Q: Does the Chinese film industry produce any horror films?

  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.

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.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
