The Phantom Killer

Warning! While I do recommend this movie, I recommend it asa mystery, not as an action or kung fu flick. Siu Fong is the local hero who charms all the ladies and all of them are in love with him. There's only one problem. There is a phantom who keeps killing young women and all the women die after seeing Siu. Siu becomes especially worried about his only true love Sin Sin. Her sister has disappeared too. Captain Chiu is on the case. They also get some help from Suen Kay (a potter) and his dwarf assistant, Ah Kwai. Also, Kam Tin-Bar is out to kill Siu (why I dont know). Anyway, what makes this movie so good is all the plot twists which turn it into a great whodunit. There is some action, but most of it is filmed in poor lighting which makes it difficult to follow. I recommend this one as a great mystery with good acting (if you are solely interested in action, this one is not for you).

(3/4)
