Jason" gave him a reputation as the "King of Ghosts" in the Hollywood film industry  . From the early ghost film "The Trail", to the weird mature "Bride with White Hair", to the Hollywood horror film "Bride of Chucky", Ronny Yu has developed his own unique Director style. At the same time, he is also an all-rounder in movies, having tried comedy, thriller, kung fu and other film genres, such as "Fulfilled Fortune", "The Phantom Lover", "fearless" and other films have left a deep impression on the audience   .
    Ronny Yu belongs to the new wave generation in Hong Kong movies. He is obsessed with horror and thriller themes. He is outstanding in the Hong Kong film industry, but he likes to try various types and assume multiple identities. He can not help attacking everywhere and distracting his personal style. In the late period, with the blurry and strange wind of several movies, it surprised Xiangjiang  .
