The ultimate vampire
13 January 2023
"Vampire Buster" Lam Ching-Ying returns as Master Gao in this vampire-filled adventure. Here, he joins forces with his colleagues in ridding the world of restless ghosts, and he, himself, does battle with dozens of jumping Chinese vampires and creepy-looking zombies. Meanwhile, he must also deal with his corrupted senior colleague and a beautiful female ghost, who befriended his two pupils

An unofficial Mr Vampire film that feels uninspired and lacking any kind of excitement and energy of the official ones, and even the story isn't very inviting - however, the cast is good, especially Carrie Ng and Lam Ching Ying, and there's some good fights. The pacing is slow and it's an effort at times to keep watching. By 1991 the popularity of the Hopping Vampire films and all the associated supernatural films had begin to wane. Not that this was to be the last one; it is a genre that to some degree is embedded in Hong Kong's folklore and traditions. I find them unique normally, however this one is a weaker effort.
