The quintessential "hopping vampire" movie, a must-see for anyone interested in Hong Kong cinema. The plot revolves around an undertaker and his assistants, who are called in to deal with a corpse that is in danger of turning into a "vampire" - it was buried with a bad feng-shui. Economically and concisely directed by Ricky Lau, it far outshines the spate of imitations it inspired.
