No satisfaction guaranteed and no satisfaction found

It starts with a guy passing through a deserted area and strangely falls into a well. Cut to Shih Chun on a long walk. He stops at a Buddhist temple. He is a scholar who chooses a haunted house to copy scriptures. The house has a well that we saw in the first scene. It is haunted by Brigitte Lin. Others are frightened off but Shih Chun stays. Rather than doing ghostly things she spends the first half of the movie doing cooking and cleaning. Finally the dragon responsible for Brigitte being a ghost shows up (if you are still awake.)

My copy is a digital file that's plays on a HDTV as wide screen. The dialog is Chinese. I do not speak Chinese and there are no subtitles. I have watched many of these movies without the dialog. Often it is easy to discern the story. This time it would have been impossible had I not already known the plot.

Brigitte Lin went on to star as a ghost again almost 20 years later in "The Bride with White Hair". Fans of wuxia, fantasy, martial arts, or whatever label fits, hail that movie as one of the best. Today, anyone who comes across this movie and watches it most likely watches it for that reason. That includes me.

Ultimately watching the movie gave me no satisfaction. Whether you chose to watch it as a fan of the genre, a student of film history, or a Brigitte Lin completist, I think you will feel the same. I cannot recommend it and rate it below average.
