Hongkong veteran actor Chin Siu-Ho (钱小豪), 59, entered showbiz after he was talent spotted in a martial arts competition by the bigwigs at Shaw Brothers Studio when he was only 14.
Siu-Ho has since moved back to Hongkong for about half a year now, and has no plans to work in China in the near future.

He worries about having to go through another lockdown, which would result in him not being able to return to Hongkong. Also, his parents are now in their 80s, and he can't bear to be apart from them for too long.

“The weather has been very hot recently and [I’m] worried that I will get a heart attack when filming outdoor scenes. I have high blood pressure, so I need to cut down on sweet, salty, and fried food. I've been eating clean and drinking soup, so my skin has also gotten better,” said Siu-Ho, who also joked that he's more handsome now.

His popularity peaked in the '80s and early '90s thanks to his roles in numerous vampire movies, which were all the rage back then.

A few of his classic films include Mr Vampire (1985), New Mr. Vampire (1987), Vampire vs Vampire (1989) and The Ultimate Vampire (1991).

He is also known for starring in martial arts films such as Tai Chi Master (1993) and Fist of Legend (1994), alongside Jet Li. Of late, he has kept up with his target market, starring in 2017 horror comedy film Vampire Cleanup Department.

Earlier this week, the veteran star appeared at a press event in Hongkong for his upcoming film, Chan Wu Zhong Guo Meng, looking very different.

So different that many of his fans almost could not recognise him. And it's because of his drastic weight-loss.

Siu-Ho revealed that two years ago, after moving to Shanghai, he had to balance irregular work and rest hours.

On top of that, he did not have access to healthy meals, and as such, would only have one meal a day. At one point, he said he weighed 65kg, though he has gained 5kg since then.

When asked by the media if he was worried that eating so little would result in him not having the energy to shoot action sequences, he said: “Nowadays, when filming action movies, there are a lot less stunts to do as compared to the past. [I] just have to perform a few actions and strike a few poses.”

Siu-Ho has since moved back to Hongkong for about half a year now, and has no plans to work in China in the near future.

He worries about having to go through another lockdown, which would result in him not being able to return to Hongkong. Also, his parents are now in their 80s, and he can't bear to be apart from them for too long.

I rarely watch ghost horror movie bt cuz this movie directed by juno bt man im impressed cinematography wise. His 1st directed movie too.

wanna post that song and bisikul scene but sked coz hurdur time

This is quite a good one actually. The plot twist and all.

He's looking much better in this movie also.

Okok..but seems china macam restrictions such movies hence his movies bcome very boring coz those "vampire", supernatural things explained with science ehich defeat the entire reason we r watching them.

Looks like good shit.

Yeah quite a good debut for the director. Nice story that doesn't get draggy or bogged down.

Ps what ending you guys got? I got the non twist one, vampire defeated. Some of my friends also watching in local cinema got the it was all a dream ending

It's good. No comedy. Scares so so but the characters are compelling. Everyone in that apartment block got a story to tell

he looks like typical uncle now... his brother chin ka lok still look ok.

The version I watched the ending was actually the main character's hallucination when he was hanging himself.

After that the MC died and reveal all the other characters' real life character instead of the MC's illusion which incorporated his zombie movie acting past.

This movie is fark up and scary as shit yo.
