A Chinese Ghost Story (2011) (DVD) (Korea Version)

Product Description

Following the critical & commercial success of the Ip Man series, acclaimed director Wilson Yip seeks to update the 80s fantasy classic A Chinese Ghost Story in his unique vision. Rather than a straight-laced remake, Yips big-budget modern retelling is an audacious reinterpretation of the supernatural story from Liaozhai the beloved original by Tsui Hark & Ching Siu Tung is based on. The major difference involves shifting the focus to demon hunter Yan Chixia (Louis Koo), who even gets entangled in a human-demon romantic triangle with Nie Xiaoqian (Liu Yifei, The Forbidden Kingdom) & Ning Caichen (Yu Shaoqun, Shaolin). Kara Hui & Fan Siu Wong lend their kung fu star credentials to the 2011 production, which combines impressive action scenes (choreographed by veteran Ma Yuk Sing) & top-notch visual effects created by Korean CG experts to exhilarating results.

Years later, the village at the bottom of Black Mountain is faced with a serious drought, & the villagers are forced to find a new source of water on the demon-infested mountain.
