Standout Aspects

Practical Effects

Gloriously cheap ghost costumes, peak 80s Hong Kong ingenuity.

Acting

Natalis Chan's cowardly salesman face, a master of panic.

Direction

Lau Shut-Yue crams three movies' worth of setpieces into 95 minutes.

Best for:Friends: Drunken group chaos, quote the cheesy dubbing together.·Background: Wild visuals demand attention but plot is forgiving.·Rewatch: Spot which ghost is just a dude in a sheet.
Heads up:Language: Casual 80s homophobia in character names and jokes.·Violence: Comedic ghost attacks, driver dies offscreen.
