Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for people who like to watch through their fingers and people who still love a bit of magic. Best enjoyed if you're happy to go along with its world. Fans of Ginger Snaps or Fear Street: 1994 should feel right at home.
The mood: Scary.
The pace: Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 28 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off: It's in Cantonese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.

After one thousand years, three vixens transform into humans. They seduce a poor young scholar who soon finds himself in a horrifying situation.
