ENCHANTING SHADOW REVIEW

I have a review of The Enchanting Shadow up at easternKicks. If you haven't seen this movie, it is the perfect film for Halloween. Anyone familiar with A Chinese Ghost Story knows the basic plot of a scholar seduced by a ghost. This film was a large influence on A Chinese Ghost Story, so it is worth viewing for that alone. But it is also remarkably haunting and entertaining. It is a very simple ghost story done well. The sets, the shots are all highly atmospheric and evocative of classic gothic cinema. The lead actress, Betty Loh Tih, is outstanding. You can see all my thoughts in the full review HERE. The Enchanting Shadow has been a bit hard to get a hold of lately but it is coming out in blu-ray soon in the Shaw-Shock Volume 2 set. It is also presently up at Shaw Brothers Cinema YouTube channel for paid subscribers.
