Ghost Killer

Summary: Not bad ghost-revenge slasher

I quite enjoyed this one, though it's hard to work out why. Alex Fong, no great actor at the best of times, flips between deadpan and hysteria. Like most HK horror films, you can see all the scares coming from a mile away.

And there are glaring irregularities in the plot. For instance, Lousy needs to inhabit Ming's body but, in scene after scene, proves he can do very well indeed on his own.

Guess I'm just a sucker for revenge slashers, especially featuring the luscious Cheng Yim Lai. There are two scenes where Jenny appears topless, but no nudity besides. Despite playing a real bastard, Lam Wai manages to generate sympathy for his character. There's a fair quota of fu fighting scenes, and the climactic fight tops things off nicely. Recommended.
