A Chinese Ghost Story - 1987 - 7/10
AKA - Sien lui yau wan // 倩女幽魂

Bill collector / scholar is caught up in a rainstorm, where his invoices bleed.
He cannot collect, lacks funds to return home, nor can he afford a room.
Locals advise he lodge free at Lan Yeuk Temple.
Where he encounters a gorgeous female (Joey Wang).
Not knowing she is a ghost, in thrall to a powerful demon who consumes humans.
Also there is Dao monk, slinging rhymes and battling the underworld.
What follows is part ghost story, part comedy, part bittersweet romance.
The look is beautifully stylized, with an energetic, bonkers finale.
One of the countless glories of Hong Kong cinema heyday.
