Wong Jing fools around with Rosamund Kwan, stands her up like a true asshole his friends wants him to be but pays the price for it. She's got an very overprotective ghost family. Vengeance time!

Wong writes himself a scenario where he's bagged Pat Ha as his pregnant wife and has a love affair with Rosamund Kwan in this typical horror-comedy of the era. Shameless.

Several attempt are made in Ghost Fever. One is the strive to be funny but with Nat Chan and Charlie Cho playing the usual moronic, horny mates of the main character, that aspect sinks expectedly. Echoing Evil Dead means there's attempt to be scary but the ways are far too crudely executed as usual coming from special effects Hong Kong cinema (even though Sam Raimi's effort probably resides budget-wise on the same level as Ghost Fever). But as these things go, Hong Kong cinema of the era had a knack for being efficient entertainment-wise even with this low-grade, politically incorrect filmmaking. Which ultimately is the most shameful thing to admit; Ghost Fever kind of is impossible to dislike. Also with Max Mok and Eddy Ko.
