88 Films gets haunted by the EROTIC GHOST STORY TRILOGY (review)

With the introduction of the Category III rating in Hong Kong, the industry introduced all kinds of sexy variations on their classic genres including EROTIC GHOST STORY which owes as much to A CHINESE GHOST STORY (and its literary source) as THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK, EROTIC GHOST STORY II and EROTIC GHOST STORY III starring the Queen and King of Category III Amy Yip and Anthony Wong.
