	The Skinny:	Unimportant and unnecessary horror comedy that will provide entertainment if there's absolutely nothing else to do.
	Review by Kozo:	Anthology triptych of ghost stories from those guys at BOB. There’s some mysterious society that gets together to tell shocking stories. A reporter goes to check it out and hears three such tales from directors Joe Ma, Yip Wai-Man and Chin Man-Kei. Joe Ma’s story is the best, an unoriginal but well-acted tale about a harried accountant (Cheung Tat-Ming) who thinks he’s being haunted by the ghost of his evil employer (Vincent Kok) in the form of luscious new boss Gigi Lai. Story two is the least interesting of the three. It involves an evil statue at a college that brings bad luck to a young med student (John Tang) when he runs into the legendary Lotus Pond Ghost (Liz Kong) that reportedly kills young students. The final story from Yip Wai-Man is a little bizarre, but entertaining. It’s the story of a model (Anita Yuen) who’s haunted by a roving ghost (Shu Qi) looking to take over her life. The framing story has a final gag, but it’s needlessly tasteless. Overall, this film is an amusing diversion if nothing else is on and you find yourself absolutely in need of some HK movie fix. And it's fine for fans of Anita Yuen, Gigi Lai, or Cheung Tat-Ming, if that's your thing. (Kozo 1997)
