      Audience Member The one by real people was far better. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member 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! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member buenaaa y con una gran introduccoin a las constumbres y/o tradiciones orientales ._0 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Adam Mars-Jones Independent (UK) Its Western influences -- The Evil Dead, A Nightmare on Elm Street -- are obvious, but its ingenuity and effervescent humour are all its own.
