What stands out first about Mojin: The Lost Legend is the confidence with which Wuershan establishes its horror film identity. Rather than relying on premise alone, Mojin: The Lost Legend asks Kun Chen and Huang Bo to supply personality from the opening stretch. The premise of Mojin: The Lost Legend is established with useful clarity: In 1969 PRChina, two men survive a supernatural tomb. That direct approach lets Mojin: The Lost Legend use its 2h 7m running time for character, atmosphere and consequence.
