The Ghost Story: Printskin
Gordon Chan's Painted Skin reinvented the Chinese macabre classic "Liaozhai" with lavish use of martial arts elements. This Print Skin, adapted from the same source material, offers ample action of another kind. Directed by Stephan Yip (Friday Gigolo), The Ghost Story: Print Skin boasts a handful of erotic film regulars like Sophie Ngan and Lam Wai Kin, in a cautious tale of a scholar falling for an alluring woman who turns out to be a vicious ghost. Despite being cheated on, the scholar's virtuous wife seeks help from a manly Taoist priest to save her bewitched husband.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its narrative on the classic conflict between carnal desire and marital virtue, exploring it through the lens of softcore fantasy. It relies heavily on the familiar ghost story framework, using eroticism as both plot device and central metaphor for dangerous obsession.
What lingers after the viewing is a sense of a traditional tale repurposed for sensationalist ends. The experience feels like a late-night cable adaptation of a literary classic, prioritizing titillation over genuine chills or depth. — MovieFinder Editorial
