Histoires de fantômes chinois III

Following the great HK tradition of sequels, this is the third (and last) in line. Made four years after the original, it's not a bad film, with some big shoes to fill, but the storyline by now is predictable as. Also, only one person from the original cast! However Tony Leung is very charming as the monk who is finding himself falling in love, and Joey Wong is again ethereal as the ghost. Well, it's a fair attempt but the magic's gone.

The visuals and effects are up to par with the the original film and provide a lot of entertainment even if the storyline is essentially the same as the first two films. It also seems a lot more erotically charged than I remember the other films being. If you're a big fan of flying prehensile hair and tongues that can reach all the way down into your stomach, you'll like this film.

Not a total waste of time like the second one, but also not necessary if you have seen the first one.

This so called part 3 of A Chinese Ghost Story series is not a follow up sequel to the first two movie but actually a remake/reboot when it take place 100 years in the future with a brand new couple and a new exorcist master but with the same Devil Tree and plot.It definitely got the charm of an over the top fantasy kung-fu movie you would expect from Siu-Tung Ching and Hark Tsui so personally I don't have any problem with the movie except for the fact that the whole existence of it is unnecessary and if you don't mind to watch the same movie as the first one then please go ahead

If the movies are to be believed, Chinese ghosts are much prettier and more mischievous than their Western counterparts. The storylines of the three 'Chinese Ghost' films are largely identical, but the direction is excellent and the detail and colour is such that it's not a huge problem. As always, humour is an integral part of the film, accompanied, of course, by a great deal of mugging. For those who haven't encountered the 'Chinese GhostStory' trilogy yet, this film offers an interesting departure from the Western horror/ghost genre; for those who have, another enjoyable romp in the Chinese ghost world.
