When cops try to arrest a suspected drug
trafficker, she ends up getting run over. However, the autopsy show she
died a week previously. Fortunately, they can call on the services of Lam
(from Mr.Vampire - the one with the odd haircut), a combined
cop/exorcist. His new partners are sceptical, until they see him in action,
then they're behind him 100%. Hiding, mostly, while he takes on Nishiwaki (rapidly rivalling
Cynthia Khan as a favourite) who's resurrecting the dead as her minions.
I've seen 'Zu'. I've seen 'A Chinese Ghost Story'. I thought I'd seen
everything. I hadn't - my jaw spent most of this movie in my lap. A
wonderful combination of cop thriller, black comedy and occult movie.
9/10
