Overview

Government official Ling Choi Sin journeys to the parched Black Mountain Village, to help its inhabitants find water. As he leads a group of volunteers up the haunted mountain, he encounters a bevy of sexy demons as well as a lovely girl named Siu Sin. After wooing her with some candy, he falls for her... and then realises that he is caught in a deadly triangle; another guy, a demon-hunter named Yan Chek Ha is also in love with Siu Sin. However, before the two men can settle their differences, they have to contend with the evil Tree Demon as well as a one-armed demon hunter who is determined to kill all the supernatural beings.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A stylish fantasy romp that balances supernatural chaos with genuine romantic tension, mixing elaborate action set-pieces with darkly comic encounters among demons and hunters. It's visually inventive but emotionally grounded, a film that doesn't take itself too seriously yet makes you care about what's at stake.
