My favorite chinese ghost story is back for more sequel :) Though Liu Yi Fei is not as good as Joey Wong, Yu Shao Qun is not as good as Leslie Cheung, but this movie did pulled out the good memory of mine when watching the old 3 sequels.

This time they have more computer & graphic effect on the movie, but the characters did not bring out the devilish feeling inside. Though Kara look devily, but not as good as Liu Zhao Ming in the past~ Louis Koo definitely bring out the character of Yen in this movie, bravo !!!

This series is not based on the novel instead but edited by the movie team. I find it a bit un-acceptable. Don't ask me why, but i jst cant tell. I still prefer Liu Zhao Ming to act as the Granny instead of Revenge :P

I think this is quite a good movie although there's a bit changes from the novel. The tree devil should be a lady but it has become a drag queen in this movie, lolz~ and summore, the style which she sucks "Qi" with her long tongue is different also. Overall, its nice :) Love leslie cheung at that time, cute... and Joey is sexy~
