Director Ricky Lau had a string of success through the 1980's and 1990's with movies that dealt with the supernatural, most notably several entries in the popular "ghost busting" Mr. Vampire series. But as the popularity of the genre waned in the late 1990's, Lau found his career to be out of direction, and turned to other genres, such as 2000's crime actioner Super Car Criminals. Sadly, the magic Lau had with handling the other-worldly is not apparent at all here, and we're left with what is widely considered to be one of the worst Hong Kong movies of the past ten years.
