SHOWTIMES AT IFC CENTER

In this installment of a phenomenal saga of the supernatural, four young people are caught in a tug-o-war of evil between an Imperial Wizard and a corrupt General. Outrageous special effects galore!

“Leslie Cheung meets up with a human lookalike of his former ghostly love, and is enlisted to help a group of swordsmen rescue her father from corrupt government officials. Along the way, they meet up with a mysterious monk, who is actually a giant centipede monster, intent on eating every human it comes across.” – Fredric Dannen, Hong Kong Babylon: An Insider’s Guide to the Hollywood of the East
