A Chinese Ghost Story (1987), shows off Hong Kong's brand of a Toho Studios-type of monster movie story-telling, right down to the creature effects and the music. What this film excels in with the script and acting, is harmed by bad comedy moments and characters singing songs out of the blue. However, the dialogue and script, as well as the acting, primarily that of Joey Wang, acts as a good buffer to some of the loose joints to this film. The visual effects are not bad for a 1987, Hong Kong produced, film. Even though there are some bad creature effects and moments of goofiness, this film is still a fun ride through Chinese film history, during those, way too, rare times, when China attempts a monster film. This is still an enjoyable film to see.
