| Chor Yuen (Killer Clans, The Bastard) and Mou Tun-Fei (Lost Souls, Men Behind The Sun) helms one of the haunted tales respectively, a format by popular demand (?) usually consisting of three stories but here split into two. Chor portrays the mysterious, ghostly surroundings of Yali (Cheng Lee), effectively blurring the line between reality and possibly illusion. Fine use of colours and rather freakish make-up effects makes this one flow. Also starring Ling Yun and Lam Jan-Kei.
Greed and sleaze is everywhere and unholy activities in between will not please the saucer spirit as Mou Tun-Fei speaks of in his short story. Chan Shen is a grade A, smelly loser who gets otherworldly assistance to win the lottery but doesn't quite shape up as a human being after given the chance. Mou amps the nudity and injects little to none class into the proceedings therefore. Certainly passes the time but the finale contains a worthwhile, tension-filled gamble about Chan Shen's characters wealth and a gory comeuppance worthy of the plot content. |
