Mr. Vampire
Directed by Ricky Lau
Produced by TOHO-TOWA, Bo Ho Films
A kinetic, irreverent blend of martial arts action and supernatural horror that treats its hopping vampire premise with playful absurdity while grounding it in Taoist spirituality.
After the planned reburial of a village elder goes awry and the corpse resurrects into a hopping vampire, a Taoist priest and his two disciples attempt to stop him.
