This is a ghost comedy from Hong Kong, clichely called "Exorcist Master" in English. It features Lam Ching-Ying as Master Chiou, who is an exorcist/kung fu master, and with him he takes under his wing his two disciples named Star and Moon. Then, the plot centers around a church, battling evil spirits, and dealing with a corrupt mayor of the town.
There is the usual Taoist magic and martial arts action in this ghost movie, but well into the 1990s, this genre has been losing steam and this movie was no exception, even with Lam Ching-Ying in it. Even though he is the only saving grace in the movie, there were very few charms, suspense and intrigue that are usually found in the earlier horror and ghost comedies. Even the comedy is immature and tacky at best.
Not the best out there, but wouldn't hurt to watch it at least once.
Grade C-

Exorcist Master, which really should be called Mr Vampire 6 or 7, more of the same, with Lam Ching Ying once again starring.
Wu Ma also has a prominent role in this one, and its filled with the usual comedy and hopping vampires.
Not the best in the series but not the worst either.
9 out of 10.
