Adam Mars-Jones Independent (UK) 11/14/2017
Its Western influences -- The Evil Dead, A Nightmare on Elm Street -- are obvious, but its ingenuity and effervescent humour are all its own. Go to Full Review

09/25/2017 The one by real people was far better. See more 12/19/2012 An entertaining and often fascinating fantasy combining Chinese and Buddhist mythology with traditional Eastern folktales in which a wandering hero falls in love with a beautiful woman only to discover she is a ghost. A delightful film by a talented ensemble of Chinese and Japanese animators. Two material thumbs up! See more 04/13/2011 It's just like Spirited Away! Only minus the beautiful animation and a cohesive storyline. So it's like Spirited Away if it were made by a third rate chinese sweatshop/animation studio. See more 01/01/2011 Funny and interesting film. It's much more of a comedy than a horror but has many laugh out loud moments and decent kung-fu scenes. See more 11/02/2010 buenaaa y con una gran introduccoin a las constumbres y/o tradiciones orientales ._0 See more 10/06/2010 A nice and action-packed animated version of the '87 Tsui Hark movie. I throughout enjoyed it, even though a little less action would have made it even more enjoyable to my poor eyes. See more Read all reviews
