Review
by Kozo: |
This
horror-comedy from the master (?) of horror-comedy Wellson
Chin is decently entertaining, and possessing mostly benign
frights. It's only sporadically funny, though when it is it
hits the mark with great hilarity. Lau Ching-Wan and Michael
Chow return from Thou Shalt Not Swear as the two cops
who seem to always run into the supernatural. Here, they chase
a ghost (Yu Rong-Guang) who’s brutally murdering people. The
plot makes little sense, and the tone changes are so fast
and furious that you’ll be lost at film’s end. Still, this
is an entertaining flick that only suffers because it’s messy
as hell. Lau Ching-Wan had yet to mature as an actor with
this one, as he was still stuck in his “acting cute” mode
that plagued him throughout 1994. It wasn’t until Dr. Mack
and My Dad is a Jerk that he could pull off the
cute bit with real depth. One of Michael
Chow’s better flicks. (Kozo 1997) |
