Two words that should never find themselves put directly next to each other: human and lanterns. The pairing just feels disturbing and wrong-- after seeing this movie however, few things have ever felt so right(I may even look into making a few of my own LOL!). The story centers around two wealthy, proud and competitive heads of a village by the names of Tan and Lung, preparing for the upcoming lantern festival. Both want ot make sure that their lantern is the absolute best and therefore the talk of the town. Enter a reclusive lantern craftsman with the knowledge of how to make the perfect product-- and willing go to whatever cruel lengths necessary for the human flesh needed in their creation. As loved ones close to both competitors begin mysteriously disappearing, foul play is suspected of each other, and the rivalry grows out of control... though are either one truly responsible? Human Lanterns is classic Shaw Brothers material, superbly directed by Chung Sun(the man behind the even better film, The Deadly Breaking Sword), filled with lavish sets, an excellent musical score, and a fantastic cast. Chen Kuan-Tai(Crippled Avengers, Challenge Of The Masters, and many other great films) plays Tan, the more mature and reserved of the rivals, while Liu Yung plays Lung as a much more vain and even borderline despicable competitor. The real star of the show is actually Lo Lieh(too many good movies to name!) as the demented lantern maker who takes particular glee in the live skinning of his victims (easily one of my favorite performances from his legendary career). This is one of the finest martial arts/horror hybrids around, the action is marvelously choreographed while the horror is far from campy(no hopping vampires here) and delivers some genuine chills. Still though, Human Lanterns is for kung fu fans first and foremost, those deciding to give this a try for the(limited) horror and exploitation elements will surely be dissapointed with what is ultimately delivered(a few macabre moments of flesh peeling grue). ### ⭐⭐⭐ Great Movie! Poor Picture Quality! *by T***U on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 30, 2017* Great movie and found this to be one of the Shaw Brothers (SB) greatest films. Surely a surprise, but considering the production value and filmmaking of these SB movies, the acting, directing, cinematography, and set designs were fantastic! Definitely for the horror film buff and not for the squeamish. We had a lot of fun watching this movie!Note about the Image DVD release -- probably the worst picture quality I've seen for a SB movie. Watching so many of the other SB films and various media releases, I was taken aback. Image has been known to release well remastered DVDs, but this one looks like VHS quality. Furthermore, the DVD froze several times during the last 30 minutes (where all the action built up). Returning for a refund.Amazon Germany is releasing a blu-ray of this title in April 2017. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ With some great scenes of action *by C***V on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 2, 2015* Visually the movie is crisp and clear. Lo Lieh , more known for his character of the evil and cold Pai Mei, shows his true acting abilities. You really see and believe the depravity of the person he portrays. With some great scenes of action, this delves more into the mind of madness. If you are a Lo Lieh fan, this is a great one to round your collection. If you are looking for all action then this is not for you. More horror, than Fu. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/10557471-human-lanterns](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/10557471-human-lanterns) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
