From the director of the amusing "The Story of Ricky" and the downright bleak "Her Vengeance" comes..."Erotic Ghost Story", a sensual reworking of George Miller's "The Witches of Eastwick". Yes, the film does rip "Witches" off and it does feature some very poor effects sequences (the transformations are like something from the 50's), but...

If Asian women rock your boat, hop on board this erotic masterpiece. I didn't care for the story. I didn't care for the bumbling, hideously irritating character known as "Scholar". All I cared for was seeing more full-frontal nudity of the achingly beautiful creatures who prance across the screen in various states of undress.

There is a plethora of mouth-watering images of breasts, vaginal lips, firm bottoms, tongues, sisters engaged in lesbian loving, masturbation, wind-swept ponds of flower petals, carefree nymphs dancing through fields of swaying grass, you name it, this flick's got it...

As long as you're not expecting anything more than pure female flesh.

It's better than the self-conscious "Sex and Zen" and it leaves its own sequels in the dust.

The music, like its cast, is hypnotic, too.

Erotic Ghost Story is an hour and a half of smutty Hong Kong craziness that more than delivers what most viewers will be after, namely copious amounts of nudity from its three sexy stars, beautiful So Man, delectable Hitomi Kudô, and the always breastabulous Amy Yip. Happy to shed their clothes at every opportunity, these three actresses play ancient animal spirits who are in the final days of becoming human, but who find their transformation threatened when they all fall for the same man, a scholar named Wu Ming (Lap-Man Sinn), who just happens to be a wicked demon in disguise.

First to get jiggy with lucky Wu Ming is well-endowed Cat III legend Amy Yip, who works up a serious sweat satisfying the scholar. Yip is closely followed by Hitomi Kudô, who is guaranteed to send blood pressures sky high by daring to bare the most, giving viewers an eyeful of her nether regions before getting to work; So Man goes last and shows that, even though she might be the oldest, she's still got what it takes. And when the three women learn that they have all slept with Wu Ming, what do they do? They have a foursome with the fellow, of course. Phew!

The loving ends, however, when the women witness Wu Ming in his true form, as Wu-Tung, a hideous three-faced monster with huge claws who tortures a hapless young woman, tearing the skin off her face (the hilarious special effects have to be seen to be believed). Crafting a voodoo doll, the trio take revenge on the fiend, eventually seeking help from a Taoist priest who causes the demon to explode. All of this silly horror is a whole lot of fun, as is the occasional spot of daft comedy from the girls' nosy neighbours Mr and Mrs Wang.

Followed by two sequels, both of which sound just as sexy and just as bonkers. Count me in!

7.5 out of 10, rounded up to 8 for IMDb.

As a rule I do not like Chines erotic films when they are set in period. There is something about them that is completely un-erotic, and yet I find I keep trying the films again and again despite knowing I find them painfully boring.

This brings me to An Erotic Ghost story. This is an awful soft core erotic supernatural tale. It has the well proportioned Amy Yip in one of her few topless roles. However like most films of this nature its not worth seeing and falls into the off the board "bad film category" that should never be bothered with called Hong Kong erotica. Its just bad. So while Amy Yip is one of my favorite actresses, I can't recommend this film to anyone even if they want to see her sans clothes.
