Chinese horror films have always been able to thrill and petrify, mostly because they are able to feature a deadly combination of horror, the supernatural, superstitions and action. For the same reasons, the Shaw Brothers horror films were leaders of the genre in Asia. Some of the best examples of these top horror titles include the cult classic Human Lanterns directed by Sun Chung, the Hex franchise directed by Kuei Chih-hung, and Mai Ling-tzu's new wave horror film The Siamese Twins.
