The Story
We leave off almost immediately from the first movie. Ning is leaving for home and is mistakenly thrown into jail. Ning's cellmate is a famous writer. The writer saves Ning and give him a plaque. Once out, he takes a horse nearby thinking it has no owner. But it is the horse of Autumn. Autumn gives chase and finds them in a abandon house. They are ambushed by fake ghost. Among these fake ghost are Windy and Moon. Windy is a look alike of Nie and Ning instantly takes note and wants to find out. Windy and Moon are trying to free their father. Autumn finds ghost in the area and wants to take them out. Ning gets caught up in it all.
My Thoughts
Not as good as the first one, but still very entertaining. Ning starts to get on my nerves in this film. Ning's lack of skill is hard to watch, but when Autumn comes in, it makes up for it. Joey does a good job of playing a strong character in this film, but doesn't really have to do much more. Michelle Reis was quite stunning back in the day. If you liked the first one, you'll prolly also like this one.
