The first
entry is a classic, the first important martial arts horror film, expertly
realized by one of the genre's greatest talents, Sammo Hung. In this one,
Chang and his friends conduct a seance. It works and the group conjure
up some monsters. Chang's unfaithful wife is so impressed by the occurrence
that she decides to use black magic to kill her husband. Before long,
every ghost and zombie in the vicinity is chasing poor Chang in a wild
frenzy for his head.
The second
film, directed ten years later, isn't really a sequel at all. Rather,
this is the story of a transient named Po who tries to help a little girl
ghost become a real person before her senile mother discovers that her
daughter is dead
