The premise
A peace treaty between the Earth and the Black World, a parallel universe of demons, is coming to an end. Two cops, Taki, a human male, and Maki, a female demon, are assigned to protect a diplomat who will help secure another treaty. A radical group of demons from the Black World are out to assassinate the diplomat and prevent the treaty; only the bond that forms between the two cops can save the Earth from destruction.
Horror Vault's take
Set in a Hong Kong where an uneasy truce between humanity and a shadowy demon dimension is on the verge of collapse, Wicked City follows two mismatched law enforcers — one human, one decidedly not — tasked with keeping a key diplomat alive. Radical demons with shape-shifting abilities and a taste for chaos will stop at nothing to derail the peace process. Director Peter Mak delivers a kinetic blend of action, body horror, and dark fantasy that leans hard into its comic-book roots. The partnership at the heart of the story carries unexpected emotional weight beneath all the supernatural carnage.
