Irene (Olivia Cheng) has a serious matrimonial curse: All three of her husbands (John Chiang, Wong Ching, Raymond Wong) have died of unnatural causes, and their spirits are still wandering around our world. Worried that their beloved Irene will spend the rest of her life alone, the three ghost husbands decide to find her the perfect man. A surprising genre shift by action choreographer-turned-director Lau Karwing, this loopy supernatural comedy is a wildly inventive ride featuring hilarious performances – especially by the three husbands - and special effects makeup work by none other than Tom Savini, the man who created George Romero's zombies in Dawn of the Dead (1978) and the gory effects of slasher classic Friday the 13th (1980).
