Summary: Not too shabby
Charlie Chin plays a man born under the unluckiest of stars. An unemployed brassiere factory worker with a wife and baby on the way, he takes a job as a security guard in a shopping mall. His colleagues, who include Kent Cheng, Wong Ching, and Chan Shen, each die mysteriously one by one, and his wife is acting stranger by the day.

Charlie consults a dedicated geomancer (Yueh Hua) to fight the evil spirit, which is determined to be reborn as his child.

The story is standard but there are some genuninely interesting scenes here. Unfortunately, much of the film drags and it isn't until the finale that it picks up again. Generally satisfying, especially if you like your horror movies bathed in an abundance of spooky green light.
