The Good, the Bad and the Horrifying Showdown:

• The movie seems to have followed Hollywood footsteps of crossing two big movie franchises into one, like "Alien vs Predator" or "Batman v Superman".

• With two of the scariest horror figures from two of the most iconic Asian horror flicks appearing in one movie, the scares just went to a whole new level.

• While the movie is horrifying, some parts felt a bit silly and over-the-top, nevertheless it managed to carefully balance the horror and humour.

• The movie pays homages to its respective horror franchises but the storyline didn't go out of place, everything turns out to be quite logical and consistent.

• Production values are good too as the movie has wonderful special effects, great camerawork, awesomely creepy make-up and costume design for the two titular horror icons.

Trivia:

• The film project first started as an April Fools' gag, but it eventually became a reality due to strong support from fans.
