Synopsis
A Chinese Ghost Story (2011) is a Chinese-Hong Kong fantasy action film you can watch online on iFILM. Director Wilson Yip revisits the 1987 Hong Kong classic: a young government official named Ling (Louis Koo) stumbles into a haunted forest and falls for Xiao Xian — a beautiful ghost played by Crystal Liu Yifei.
Their romance has no good ending. Xiao Xian's demon mistress forbids attachments to the living, and a demon hunter (Lin Peng) is out to eliminate every supernatural creature in the valley. The film leans into large-scale visual effects and quick action while keeping the bittersweet logic of the original.
The 1987 source film is one of the landmarks of Hong Kong cinema; this version brings the same legend to a new generation. A hundred minutes of phantoms, sword fights and doomed love. Watch A Chinese Ghost Story online on iFILM.
