English title of this is "First Vampire In China", yes its another a long the lines of Mr Vampire, not the typical hopping vampire in this one, definitely more of a horror vampire, looks a bit like a mummy.

This film actually really reminds me of the excellent "return of the demon", the settings and time period all look the same, that also stars Charlie Cho.

So to wrap up this is another great film, i actually only discovered this a couple of years ago, but am already up to 6 viewings, i also discovered "Close Encounter of the Vampire" about the same time, check that one out too.

9 out of 10.

Chinese ghostbusters battle the supernatural using every type of talisman and lucky charm available -- from lucky coins to black dog's blood. But can they defeat the hideous, jumping first vampire of china? You will ask yourself, 'How long can you go?', when watching this amazingly strange movie. Don't miss the first five minutes which explains the origin of the first vampire in china. It's a howler. This movie will tax even the most gullible viewer's ability to suspend disbelief. A laff riot! I give this one a 'three-trips-to-the-john' rating for badness.
