Asian Shockers DVD

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...This is NOT scary in the sense of the same as Halloween or Nightmare on Elm Street but this is a real shocker. A very clever movie which comes with ingenious ways of getting killed from some of the least expected. Lots of blood and stuff with a superb finale just when you thought it. The acting isn't brilliant or anything with no major stars in the cast however there wasn't any major character development. Death never actually shows his face making all the more scarier and it is rather surprising the way that the audiences reacted in the promo vids cos I certainly didn't react like that nor anyone else I know....

...I've heard a lot of negative opinion by this film but why? It is so funny and I laughed my way through the whole film. Some scenes are a bit exagarrated but it is fun. Whether you are white, asian, or black this film definitely breaks down the barriers of racism. It also portrays the racism behaviour of some people in a hilarious way. If you don't understand asian culture come and see this film it does definitely show what it is like being an asian. It is great to see a british film with asian actors in. This film is a must for all people with a sense of humour.... Read review

Disadvantages: none!

...I'm Asian myself so when i heard about East is East, i'd already missed it at the cinema so i bought the DVD. I wasn't disappointed, i enjoyed this film thoroughly because it took the mickey out of Asian families and trying to combine east and west cultures. The characters remind you of various members of your family or extended family or their extended family!!.........and the way the film deals with issues such as violence, mixed raced children, sexuality, religion and culture does make you think of what it was like for many Asian families in the 60's. Extras include deleted and alternative scene, interviews with the cast and there is a directors commentary too! Loads of bits and pieces! Some of my family have seen it and they all laugh so i think it's meant to be funny and not offensive to Asians on the whole.... Read review
