A Hong Kong antique dealer acquires two unusual specimens. His children, however, mistake the dormant figures for mannequins and accidentally remove the ancient talismans sealing their coffins. The reawakened father and mother zombies are not alone; their small, feral child has also escaped. Now, a frantic chase ensues through the neon-lit streets of 1980s Hong Kong, blending slapstick comedy with genuine horror as a hapless scientist and the police try to contain the undead family. This 1986 genre mash-up from director Ricky Lau is a chaotic and charming cult classic.

Lam Nai-choi directs an energetic genre hybrid where grotesque horror collides with urban comedy. The atmosphere oscillates between tense chase sequences and almost domestic scenes featuring the unusual creatures.
It suits fans of 80s Asian cinema looking for undemanding viewing with elements of farce. The viewer will feel nostalgia for the era of practical effects and unpretentious humor amidst the chaos. — MovieFinder Editorial
