The premise

Government official Ling Choi Sin journeys to the parched Black Mountain Village, to help its inhabitants find water. As he leads a group of volunteers up the haunted mountain, he encounters a bevy of sexy demons as well as a lovely girl named Siu Sin. After wooing her with some candy, he falls for her... and then realises that he is caught in a deadly triangle; another guy, a demon-hunter named Yan Chek Ha is also in love with Siu Sin. However, before the two men can settle their differences, they have to contend with the evil Tree Demon as well as a one-armed demon hunter who is determined to kill all the supernatural beings.

Horror Vault's take

When a well-meaning government official ventures into the cursed Black Mountain Village on a mission to find water for its people, he stumbles into a world teeming with demons and restless spirits. A chance encounter with a mysterious and enchanting young woman draws him into a dangerous web of romance, rivalry, and dark supernatural forces. Two men vying for the same ghostly heart must put aside their differences when a far greater evil — the terrifying Tree Demon — threatens everyone around them. This lavish Hong Kong fantasy-horror blend delivers breathless action and swooning romance alongside its chills.
