He then offers his former pupil sole access to the book and seems to be trying to eye mojo him. Devil Monster bites Piu Hung before Hsu gets there. When they are killed they rapidly reduce to skeleton, which then dusts, and this was the nice cgi effect I mentioned.
The five start to fight through vampires. It appears that Hsu was Mao Lung’s pupil and has turned on his magician master, the other pupil was Wuchie (Collin Chou) and he watches from a rooftop and moves, with preternatural speed, to warn Mao Lung. They have come to prevent the ascendancy of Devil Monster and rescue the Yin Woman – who is Piu Hung, Hsu’s wife. The jeep contains three men, Hsu Yao Tu (Andrew Lin), Rock (Wing-Kin Lau) and Lau Yun (Tau Chu), as well as two women, Sherin and another whose name I missed – I must admit. He announces that the great time has arrived, through the sacrifice of the Yin Woman (Valerie Chow) he will become the greatest God of Darkness. A creature walks in, later revealed to be Mao Lung (Wai Lam) or the ‘Devil Monster’, and the vampires worship him. In the village everyone is gathered in one place eating raw flesh, they have fangs and clearly are vampires. One actually has to assume this was around 1940. There is little to suggest date and I felt it was more modern than it eventually transpired. We then see a jeep driving through the countryside towards a town.
The film starts with a voice over that discusses a planetary alignment that occurs once every 60 years.

This was an odd old duck of a film, there were some awfully Hong Kong movie effects of a type common in such movies some ten to twenty years previous to this film’s release, yet these were mixed in with occasional cgi effects that worked rather well.
