Chuang xie xian sheng

This is a ghost comedy from director Wong Jing, where Riley (Kenny Bee) has been cursed by the ghost of an evil warlock, as revenge against Riley father who allegedly was responsible for the warlock's death years ago. Therefore, Riley's mother (Pik-Wan Tang) will go through anything to save him.

The ghost possession and warlord's ghost plot is very intriguing and suspenseful, reminding you that an evil presence is out to cause havoc to Riley as he tries to go about his life. Carol 'Do Do' Cheng plays Tseng Hsiao-Yu, a woman caught in the path of the ghostly presence and later becomes Riley's love interest.

The romance subplot is sweet and somewhat comical, but I thought it takes a little too much away from the main suspenseful ghost plot. But, it's still an entertaining movie, with a well-known Hong Kong cast including Chan Pak-Cheung, Wong Jing, Chingmy Yau and Tang Pik-Wan. All provided great screen presence in their humor and drama, with a little bit of slapstick comedy and action thrown in.

It's entertaining and funny stuff here - go check it out.
