Both Brian's review site and Tim Young's review site have posted extremely positive reviews of this 1999 horror comedy, and for the life of it I cannot understand why. This film is awful!

Shot on a shoestring budget, this movie strives mightily hard to be witty and scary and hopefully achieve cultfilm status. And indeed, parts of it have a certain freshness and playfulness that you don't see much anymore in commercial cinema (unless the director's name is Ed Wood). The plot, insofar as there is one, has to do with the last show at an old movie theatre that's about to be closed down for good. An assortment of cheesy looking guys in monster suits (the ghosts) decide to wreak havoc on an assortment of cheesy looking actors. That's about it. SO you have 85 minutes of various monsters chasing various actors, several severed limbs, lots of icky fluids, and some sequences ripped of from other films, such as the toiletbowl scene in Trainspotting.

There's a morale at the end of the story (well, sort of), but since it was obvious from the beginning, no big payoff there. Francis Ng has a brief cameo, as does Ching Kar Lok (doing a silly Jackie Chan parody). The only other actors I recognized were Amada Lee, Sherming Yiu and Pinky Cheung.

If you can grab this one on VCD for under 5 bucks, it might be worth a try, otherwise stay away.
