Abracadabra (1986)

Directed by Peter Mak Tai-kit

Supernatural | Horror | Comedy

Overview

In 1980, a crack team of Taoists (garbed like ninjas!) successfully vanquish a mob of ghosts—except for female demon Pinkish Red, who manages to escape. Six years later, Cici Shin (Charine Chan Kar-ling) and her cousin, Lily Li (Ann Bridgewater), open a boutique and need a mirror for their fitting room. The mall security guard finds one for them in the basement but, naturally, Pinkish Red resides inside it and, when Cici cleans the mirror’s surface, the ghost is able to enter back into the real world.

Viewing Notes

Movie 8
Clue: “Wacky mall-based ghost hijinks”

no one got this correct. Never even heard of this movie until now. Definitely a whacky HK ghost movie. As per usual I’d like to have a restored release for this from 88 or Eureka.
