A writer moves to an old house to work on a script, but once there, she is terrorized by a gruesome, Freddy Krueger like demon. Meanwhile, a female private detective goes up against a gang of viscous criminals. This bizarre horror / action horror film also features a Taoist monk with a pair of hopping vampire slaves, a chubby vampire kid, and a cheesy Robo-Cop rip-off. Incoherent, yet oddly enjoyable! |
