Jiangshi movies are just plain fun. Corpses hopping around in Qing dynasty garb plus martial arts and cheesy effects. If you can read that and you still want to see it, then you won't be disappointed. This one is pretty run-of-the-mill for the '80's, but that means it comes with a whole lot of charm and humor in tow.

The humor didn't land and not a lot happens in the first hour. Also, I wasn't a fan of most of the scenes with the kids including the soundtrack during those times.

Some neat surreal moments and a lot of wacky slapstick humor. I like the bunny hopping vampire baddie. Watched it without subtitles but I don't think I needed any. A better poster than it is a movie.
