    5/10
    Another supernatural knockabout comedy from Sammo.
    The ghosts of adulterous lovers possess the living, which causes problems for the local police force.

    Sammo Hung's Spooky Spooky is a film of two halves: the first part is primarily played for laughs and how much enjoyment you derive from it will depend on your proclivity for Hong Kong comedy (I always struggle with Chinese humour); the second half is heavier on the horror (albeit still with plenty of humour), Hung delivering some entertaining scenes in which people become possessed by ghosts, turning into Evil Dead-style zombies. There's even an Evil Dead II inspired severed hand that scuttles around causing trouble.

    While nowhere near as solid as Sammo's Encounters of the Spooky Kind (1980), Spooky Spooky does manage to be quite a bit of fun after the half way point. There's lots of '80s special effects, a bit of kung fu, and appearances from familiar HK faces Richard Ng, Wu Ma, Corey Yuen, Yuen Wah and Mrs. Hung, Joyce Godenzi.

    5/10. Not essential viewing, but a reasonable time waster.
