To understand how a modestly staged feature like Unidentified Murder<\/em> manages to charm the socks off so many Hong Kong critics \u2013 despite doing only a passable job of tackling its subjects of male friendship, shoddy scams and grass-roots filmmaking \u2013 one must first acknowledge the depressing state of local comedy.<\/p>\n

Enter writer-director duo Kwok Ka-hei and Jack Lee Chun-kit\u2019s feature debut, which unapologetically plays like a spiritual cousin to One Cut of the Dead<\/em><\/span> (2017), the inventive Japanese zombie movie that makes use of its nesting-doll narrative to explore the insane possibilities of comedy writing. It is, in other words, at least trying.<\/div>\n

Riffing on the desperate tactics of YouTube content creation \u2013 much like the way the cult hit satirised ultra-low-budget filmmaking \u2013 Unidentified Murder<\/em> adopts a three-act structure that starts out unconvincingly, only to revisit the premise from a different perspective in each subsequent part to playfully pile on the absurdity of the situation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
