About Beauty Head of the Haunted House
Centers around experiments on a disembodied, living female head. This is one of only a small handful of horror films produced by Mainland China in the 80s since genre films were banned there until the late 80s.
Directed by Liu Yichuan, Hu Qingshi, Beauty Head of the Haunted House leans on a strong ensemble — Lei Ming, Wang Yanmei, Hu Qingshi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 1989.
