Chinese Ghost Story Reviews
Very overrated
This movie is very overated it is probably one of the cheesiest movies I have ever seen. I must say this film got good ratings and I don't know how. The love story is not that good, Leslie Cheung is hardly a man in this movie. If you want to see a good love story get Bride with white hair the best HK movie ever made. I knew this film had little action in it an that is not what turned me off to it. The fact that you (the viewer) does not care about Leslie Cheung at all in this film. I have seen him before in Ashes of Time and Bride with white hair and he has been very charasmatic but not in this film. Another bad aspect of this film is the bad guy/girl. He/she is killing men with a ridiculously long tongue. The special effects are not that bad but the tongue is just very corny. The only bright spot in this film is Joey wang the lovely ghost. Before this film the only other movie i have seen her in is The East is Red. She is very good in both movies. She is haunting as the ghost and you do care about her in this movie. Wu ma is also good in this movie as a Taoist monk, he is a good character. Overall I would not recommend anyone to buy this movie. Cheesy is one word to describe it.
Colorful, Original and Farout!!
This is such a cool film! The magic is felt when you watch it. The moves of the actors, the music, the sets, the storyline and especially the visuals. The effects are natural and unique in this film. There is a transexual tree monster who rules the beautiful dead ghost, who has to be a vampire in order to survive in the ghost world. They are all living in a temple with a possible ghost or warrior, wasn't quite clear. The warrior stood for good and fought the evil. When a young man who is naive and doesn't realize the temple is haunted stumbles in and falls in love with the bewitched beautiful vampire ghost. He does not know she is dead yet and they have a lovely romance sequence. Soon he finds out she is a ghost and wants to help her escape her karma and be reborn again. With the sanskrit words and the help of the good warrior, they take on the tree monster and even go to hell to fight for the spirit of the beautiful ghost finally making there way back to the world. A shimmering image filled feat! Just like the haunted mansion you always wanted to see. Highly Highly Recommended. It has subtitles and they are sometimes hard to follow. This is a movie definately for art lovers and whoever else that is open to something new and different.
