Description

A boy is obsessed with the comic book hero Zhong Kui, an eccentric ghost catcher armed with a magic sword and sack. When his mother and younger sister are abducted by demons, the boy decides to seek help from Zhong to fight against vampires and revenants, zombies and goblins. Taking advantage of such special effects as freeze-frame and step-printing, The Ghost Catcher is a spectacular visual adventure.
