The Spooky Family
In this pleasant but not overtly funny comedy,
Kent Cheng is both a vampire hunter and collector. His son assists him,
while his wife and daughter tell fortunes. He has two vampires up in the
attic and tells his son to go dust them, but don’t play any jokes on the
sleeping vampire. He is busy working on a “Human and Corpse Linking Machine”
that will allow him to control the minds of the dead.
Word comes to him that a Copper Vampire is on
the loose. This is a special type of powerful vampire and he and his son
go off to capture it. After a fierce battle they are able to control the
vampire and bring it back home. At some point though the vampire frees
itself and becomes more powerful than ever and the entire family must enter
the battle. The family also needs the assistance of Nina Li, another vampire
specialist.
This is pretty much played for humor though after
watching this I had the strangest dreams. I am not sure if it was the film
or the Chinese meal I had though !
Sandra Ng and Shing Fui-On have small cameos in
the film.
