Summary: you're my wife now...
teacher cheung (john shum) takes a group of students away to a small, seemingly deserted island, for a weekend of geographical study. all seems well, until they bump into three brothers who live on the island and have a papa lazarou-esque attitude to the ladies. there may be trouble ahead...

not a great film, but quite nice usage of location and a touch of creepy, weirdo, backwards yokelism. john shum puts in a good turn, whilst peter chan, billy ching and chan ging do really well in their portrayal of the three brothers; bringing a genuinely unhinged sense of menace, which probably makes the film watchable.

nothing special, but watchable.
