Films like The Angry Guest.

The Angry Guest (1972) reads as Sombre, breathless, measured kung-fu / shaw-brothers, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, cold. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
