Chinese:夜半一點鐘Tsui Kam-Kong and Jordan Chan  Year:1995  Director:Wilson Yip Wai-Shun  Producer:Andy Chin Wing-Keung  Writer:Philip Kwok Wai-Chung, So Man-Sing  Cast:Veronica Yip Yuk-Hing, Anita Yuen Wing-Yee, Elvis Tsui Kam-Kong, Jordan Chan Siu-Chun, Anthony Wong Yiu-Ming, Jessica Suen Huen, Farini Chang, Ivy Leung Si-Man, Hung Suet-Ying, Candy Hau Woon-Ling  The Skinny:Positively mild horror comedy from director Wilson Yip that lacks the payoff to make it more than a minor distraction. Maybe okay for Wilson Yip completists or fans of the stars, but really, this is not a film worth seeking out.     Reviewby Kozo:Minor horror-comedy from director Wilson Yip, who went to to direct actual good movies. 01:00 AM is a typical Hong Kong horror comedy, which means there are three stories related by a single thread.

The film reunites most of the original cast but is officially not a sequel to the 2008 film Painted Skin. Director：Wuershan After Painted Skin: The Resurrection premiered in China, critics praised two leading actresses, especially Zhao Wei's breakthrough performance.[3] Audience named Zhao "the most beautiful scarred woman ever seen". Derek Elley from Film Business Asia wrote:"The result is a very entertaining, slightly over-long costume fantasy whose performances and sheer technique carry a script that often punches above its weight."..." Zhou, who since Suzhou River (1999) has almost had the Mainland patent on sexually ambiguous, seductive roles, dominates the movie, as a demon who wants to be human even if it means pain. But she gets a run for her money from Zhao, who's developing much more screen gravitas in her mid-30s and is better directed here than in her previous female-warrior role in Jingle Ma's Mulan (2009). Zhao's scenes with Zhou are much more emotionally resonant…
