A skeptical mayor has his beliefs challenged when an ancient emperor rises from the grave and causes chaos.
This is not an easy film to describe as it involves not just a vampire chicken who infects people with a peculiar strain of vampirism, but the haunting vampire chicken theme music. (And by haunting, I mean hilarious.) While it's listed on Letterboxd as a horror, adventure, and drama film, it's a decidedly silly horror comedy. This Chinese "jumping vampire" film was released just a year after Mr. Vampire.

Oh from the director of the Return of the Demon? And from Eternal Film Company who gave us so many of the worst Bruceploitation films and were the Asylum of their day? That's gonna be "quality".
