The Day That Doesn't Exist (1995) User Reviews

Quite an exciting and thrilling HK supernatural analogy.

[OllieSuave-007 · 7/10 · 13 June 2018]

This is an anthology of stories all looped together into one entire horror movie, with a plot about a deceased fiancé, whose spirit returns to be with his beloved. died in an accident just before the wedding, comes back to be with her. And, in another story, a cop, who was in the coma, wakes up to find himself in another body.

The actors do deliver well in their roles, but the stories can be quite exciting and thrilling. But, it lacks a little substance and intrigue.

Grade B-

Zany Grindhouse Horror Duo

[BlueFairyBlog · 6/10 · 22 May 2022]

Literally all ratings for this film in the past month stem from a single showing at the New Beverly Theater in Los Angeles, that's literally how difficult it is to find. It's a shame too because this is truly one of the funniest, off the wall, and quotable Hong Kong grindhouse films I have ever seen. I want to show it to everyone I know and can't so whomp whomp on that. If you get the chance to watch this wonderful, zany horror duo please do so immediately.

Two twisted tales told in one film!

[Captain_Couth · 8/10 · 18 February 2005]

The Day that Doesn't Exist a.k.a. February 30th (1995) is a film that has two tales of the macabre. Anthony Wong Chau Sang leads the cast in this weird ensemble of character actors. One tale deals with a Truck driver who leads a double life and the other one follows a amnesiac who has no idea about the secret life that he lived. The two are loosely connected by the car accident theme and the fact that the two main characters have cheated death (but one is dead and doesn't even know it).

If you like Asian horror films then you'll enjoy this crazy film. Anthony Wong as usual steals the show. The mid-nineties was a great time for horror films in the Hong Kong Cinema. Thanks to the success of the films by Herman Yau and his ever lasting omnibus series and the category three genre. Keep an eye out for this movie, it's extremely hard to find.

Strongly recommended.
