Viewing Notes
No wonder this was remade b/c I think there’s a decent story in here to be told but otherwise dull for a King Hu flick. Only briefly is the “painted skin” curse touched upon. The rest of the time is finding the high priest, Sammo Hung, to help them lift the curse. Disappointing. The remake can’t be this bad, right?
