The movie begins with a creepy old guy enters a tea house for some take out. Sek Kin is almost unrecognizable under all that makeup. Cliff Lok and his drinking buddy are too drunk to be afraid. They fight him and die. Their master and a woman arrive to investigate their deaths. Despite warnings they enter the haunted house. They die too. Some clan chief and Nora arrive next. Nora is not allowed in because she is a girl. She listens from the roof and gets a message from the dead "Don't avenge us or you will die too". Despite that solid advice they fight. She survives by running away.
Later the son of the earlier victims arrive. Nora and Lee Kwan do not directly answer his questions and act silly about it. When the inn keeper finally directs him to the four coffins there is a "Ghost!" panic moment that only makes things more confusing. All of the spooky scenes seem contrived.
Nora did a good job in all of her fight sequences. From an acting perspective she added an element of fun too. Lee Kwan's fights were total comic relief. Lo Wei's fights were all about the practical effects and looking at the back of the stunt man standing in for all the real fight moves.
I first watched this movie about four years. I made notes but did not finish a review because of other distractions. All the notes I made back then praised the movie. On this second viewing I am questioning all that praise. Despite my ambivalence, Golden Harvest had a fabulous first year with this as one of their movies and I rate it above average.
