From acclaimed Hong Kong filmmaker Tsui Hark (Black Mask 2, Time and Tide) comes this exhilarating, action-packed thrill ride destined to become a martial arts/horror classic. In 19th century China, an evil monk awakens a nest of ghoulish vampires. Each of four heroes trained in magic and martial arts specializes in controlling the element of his namesake: Rain, Lightning, Thunder and Wind. They and their master (Ji Chun Hua) must use their powers to destroy the Vampire King; a rotting, maggot-faced creature in putrid robes that can suck blood from a distance and breathe fire; and his lethal coven before it's too late. Their search for zombies; who, in Chinese lore, hop rather than walk, leads them to an eerie compound of dead people preserved in wax, and culminates in a climactic battle royal.
