The rather generic
title hides this diamond-in-the-rough horror tale. When a drunkard urinates
on sacred ashes (see above left) an evil sex killer is resurrected from
a watery grave in the Coral Cove Lagoon. The ghostly creature begins stalking
unsuspecting teen vacationers, particularly Irene and Alex, plus their
nubile friends.
This oddity is the
only film directed by Terence Chang. He is better known as a producer,
having worked in that capacity for every John Woo film (including Woo's
American projects) since ONCE A THIEF. The film was also the debut project
for the two leads, Elsie Chan [she'd star in another 20+ including CALL
GIRLS] and Alex Fong who would make over 100 films in the next
40 years including the legendary cult movies ESCAPE
FROM BROTHEL, IRON
ANGELS, BEHIND
THE PINK DOOR and BEAUTY
EVIL ROSE.

Kong film with Chinese/English subtitles; widescreen format (16:9), uncut
