Horseman Cao

The legend, according to Mockbusters.tv

Horseman Cao grasped early that the scariest monster is the one the audience assembles in its own head, so he simply never shows it: he hints, and lets your imagination cover the entire visual effects budget. Trained in the sacred creed of "we shoot it this afternoon or we don't shoot it," he delivered Moses: Egypt's Great Prince lit exclusively by the sun, night scenes included, because daylight is free and never late to set. Cannes says nothing about his work. That silence is the loudest standing ovation in cinema.

A portrait from the Mockbusters.tv satirical universe: humorous praise, not a factual biography.
