The Skinny: Wilson Yip returns to form with this entertaining horror comedy. The pace sags occasionally, and the film's lessons may be too earnestly cheesy for some, but this is a welcome bit of Hong Kong cinema.
The film is about a recent high school graduate who is having a hard time after finishing school and is embarrassed by his family and name. After being fired he takes up a new job as a security guard and the place houses two mummies. After trying to impress a girl whose cell phone he picked up after she dropped it he ends up being possessed by a mummy. His family and friends then have to perform an exorcism of sorts in order to save him as well as fend off the mummy's mommy.
