The Ghost Hill

Director: Ting Shan-hsi

1971 / 92min / DCP

“The final installment in The Swordsman of All Swordsmen trilogy, no familiarity with the two earlier movies is required to have a blast. Polly Shang-kuan reprises her Flying Swallow character alongside Tien Peng’s Tsai Ying-jie; this time, they decide to storm Hell itself in revenge for the death of Flying Swallow’s dad. Lord Chin, the Ruler of Hell, is guarded by the Left & Right Judges, the Ox Head Demon, the Black & White Wuchangs, the Murdering Wonder Child, and Soul Hunter Yaksha. Fortunately, Flying Swallow and Tsai have a just cause, as they chop necks under multicolored disco lights, and the images fly fast and furious in this delirious, blood-soaked fantasia.”—Subway Cinema
