Ghost Fever
Director: Lau Shut-yue
Year: 1989
Rating: 6.0
Wong Jing and his
wife, Pat Ha, move into a new home, but they should have been a little more
careful in checking the background. It turns out that a family was killed
a few years back by Eddie Ko and we all know that can only mean one thing
- ghosts !
While his wife
is in the hospital for a few days, Wong meets a mysterious, wide eyed lovely
- Rosamund Kwan - who shows up in his taxi and then in his elevator. This
leads to a one night affair, but when he stands her up the next time her family decides to take revenge for this slight.
It turns out that this family are the ghosts of the murdered family as is
Rosamund as well.
Amy Yip has a small
part here and it is not at all memorable as the director does nothing to
make her look sexy or to reveal her famous cleavage. For the most part this
is a comedy and it has Charlie Cho and Natalis Chan doing their usual silly
shtick, but these ghosts are not very nice and some of the story does take
on a scary quality. The best part is when Charlie is sucked into the TV and
has to first fight Jackie Chan and then some hopping vampires. When he is
pulled back out, one of the vampire heads gets detached and comes out with
him and begins attacking the people.
