Murky, third-rate martial-arts film.

The thrill is mostly gone in this supernatural mess.

Project has the stench less of rotting flesh than the whiff of a thoughtless quickie.

Pleasantly cheesy but undistinguished martial-arts and horror fare.

Anything that reminds us that there are mass-entertainment options beyond Hollywood's banal formulas is worthwhile.

An uninspired addition to the generally endearing subgenre.

The film's action sequences have been staged with a dazzling finesse, and the look of the film is splendid.

Good and evil duke it out with swift-moving martial arts leaps and swordplay, action that's so finely sliced and diced that it never quite connects.
