IMDB

The ghost of a slain woman comes back to get revenge on her husband after 18 years, who did nothing to stop her clan's (including herself) massacre. Incidentally, the son of the man meets up with the 18 year old sister he didn't know he had. She has been raised by the ghost of her mother. She is brought back to her father's place, where her mother's spirit possesses her body and tries to get revenge. Then it gets even crazier.
Way over the top horror/wire fu movie. The fights are crazy with people flying, doing magic and shooting shit out of their hands. The sets are cool, lit with colored lights and full of fog. The story is pretty interesting, but the massive amount of dialogue made it a bit hard to completely keep up with the subtitles at times. I enjoyed this campy kung fu movie, but I do tend to favor wire fu.

7.5/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
