Short description

A Taoist monk's disciple and his master take in a scholar who accidentally destroyed his own home while fighting a demon. As the two practitioners try to shield the man from local spirits and monsters, he falls in love with a kind female ghost. This spirit is held captive by a cruel entity known as the King Ghost, leading to a conflict involving humans and supernatural forces.

Directed by Wu Ma, this was the first of four films he directed, followed by Burning Sensation, Just Heroes, and The Chinese Ghostbuster. The screenplay was written by Wu Ma and Chan Ka-Cheong, and the film was produced by Sammo Hung and Corey Yuen. The cast includes Yuen Biao, Joey Wong, Lawrence Ng, Wu Ma, Elizabeth Lee Mei-Fung, and Fanny Sit Chi-Lun.

Produced in Hong Kong by Orange Sky Golden Harvest and Paragon Films Ltd., the movie blends action, fantasy, and horror elements over a runtime of 97 minutes. Audience reception is mixed, as reflected by a rating of 5.9/10 on IMDb based on 196 votes.
