Aroview: Influential kung-fu ghostbusting flick is a distinctively Eastern slant on the 'vampire' genre - less like caped Counts, more like bouncing Zen zombies.

The hilarious action centres around a rich landowner's efforts to move his father's corpse to a more peaceful resting place, complicated by supernatural struggles of the hearts, minds and bodies.
