A 'Sequel' that Ends up Spinning its Wheels
[Watched/Reviewed on Letterboxd 5/13/2021]
"Basically a retelling of A Chinese Ghost Story" Amazon Prime nakedly claims in its summation of the film. Whoever wrote the summary is not wrong in the least, but now the ghost dame likes being evil, and its Monk protagonist is genre savvy to ghosts.
It's kind've disappointing when you consider how many ways from Sunday you could tell a continue a "Chinese Ghost Story", but sometimes folk just become a bit too taken with their first idea to break away from it.
