Unlike horror movies with ghosts and zombies as elements, Barbecued Bags in Eight Immortals Hotel is a story adapted from a real case. It is precisely because of the "authenticity" that many viewers have a strong sense of entry in the era of watching movies, and from time to time they will have a creepy feeling. It mainly tells the story of a restaurant owner who killed a family of eight, dismembered the body and made it into adult barbecued pork buns for sale. At the end of the story, the murderer committed suicide by cutting his pulse, but he refused to admit the fact of killing until his death.

Li Huayue, the heroine, is not famous, and the audience complains that she is too old and has no special features. In the late 1990s, she basically disappeared from the circle. Another leading actor, Li Xiuxian, was the most active and prolific actor in 1980s and 1990s. He not only appeared in many TV plays, but also directed many movies. For example, his wonderful performances in "Thunder Sweeping the Hole" and "Car God".
In addition, there are Fui-On Shing and other supporting actors. Fui-On Shing, who looks rough and generous, is born with a little "losing face", so his films are mostly male, big boss, big fool and other roles. It is worth mentioning that Fui-On Shing was introduced into this circle by Li Xiuxian. In private, they are also old friends and ghosts. Although there are not many opponents in this film, the tacit understanding is natural. In the mid-1990s, Fui-On Shing entered the mainland entertainment circle, mostly in supporting roles, without many representative works. In 2004, Lao Xigu died of illness, ending his not gorgeous acting career.
As a horror film, Barbecued Bags in Eight Immortals Hotel scored 7. 1 in Douban, which is a very good result. It is a classic of Hong Kong movies at the peak of 1990s. But because there are not many viewers of horror movies, not many people have seen them. Bold viewers can have a aftertaste.
