A young tax collector (Leslie Cheung) embarks at a temple named Lan Ro were he was told that he could stay overnight for free. Soon strange things begin to happen. The young man meets a girl and falls in love without knowing that she's a ghost who's being forced to seduce men by the Tree monster so it can obtain more power. Forced to marry some evil guy the beautiful ghosts heart is in pain. The tax collector notes her broken heart and decides to help her.

 

This one was great. It isn’t a kung fu movie but there are two fights that are nice, the rest are wire flying and special effects. They claim this to be an erotic movie but it ain’t to much of that, it’s more a beautiful action/drama ghost story with great camerawork, special effects and acting.

Wu Ma plays the ghost specialist and is truly great, becomes your fave as soon as he appears.

Leslie Cheung is a great actor too.

Isn't to much more I can say about this, but if your like the usual Hong Kong stuff you'll like this one.
