October 20, 2021 at 6:55 pmJust a quick correction, it’s a movie out of Hong Kong, not China.

October 20, 2021 at 9:11 pmI prefer these “older” films. To me, horror films made before 1992 appeal to me more.

October 20, 2021 at 9:24 pmI know you titled the video “A Chinese Ghost Story,” but I don’t think you ever say the name of the movie throughout your entire review. At :46 secs. into the video, you just start talking about the pre-movie credits and then go straight into the film itself.

October 21, 2021 at 12:06 amAs this movie was produced in 1987, a full 10 years before Hong Kong was handed over to the PRC by the British, I feel the title ought to be, ‘A Chinese Ghost Story (Hong Kong, 1987)’.

wow people really can’t talk about anything from China like a normal person anymore without the same shitty jokes, huh.
anyway this movie is a classic. Hong Kong was at the peak of its game in those days

October 26, 2021 at 1:40 pmChina was making a ton of ghost story movies and comedies all the way up until the end of the ’90s. It all ended when China’s government decided to install and enforce the Chinese Communist Party.

October 28, 2021 at 7:45 amA friend of mine likes watching weird films, and I saw this with bad subtitles on Dailymotion. It was so bizarre, but oddly moving, and the Chinese folklore expressed by practical effects, and the wuxia elements were inspired. And that was one bad ass Daoist scholar.

October 31, 2021 at 5:36 pmA classic Hong Kong horror movie. If anyone is interested in some amazing non-comedy HK horror films, I’d highly recommend “Dumplings” and “Dream Home”.

November 3, 2021 at 11:21 amThis looks stupid crazy. I love how original all the monsters look. Definitely Hong Kong / China has some ancient folklore that not many of us in America knows about. And when I mean America, I mean the continent, I’m from Costa Rica. Even chinese people here are very silent about their culture
