For generations the Cheung clan has protected the world from a demonic cat with nine lives who returns every 50 years to feed on unsuspecting souls. Now the last of his bloodline, the burden falls on the aging kung fu sorcerer, Master Cheung (Lau Kar-leung), to enter into final battle with the demon and claim its last life, before a terminal illness claims his.

In one of the wilder collaborations in HK film history, horror and New Wave icon Dennis Yu (THE BEASTS) brings to life one of the Wong Jing-iest of ridiculous 80s Wong Jing scripts, with the legendary Lau Kar-leung in tow as star and choreographer. The result is an incredible convergence of its creators’ sensibilities, with its giallo-esque horror sequences blending seamlessly with superb wirework action and off-the-charts zaniness.
