The premise

In 17th century China, zombies and vampires roamed the lands, feeding on the unsuspecting. A group of martial artists / vampire hunters find themselves employed by a very rich - and very insane - old man who has kept everyone of his relatives preserved in wax and not buried. Apparently it is his family's tradition. So, having generations of potential zombies in your cellar may not be the smartest idea ever, but it takes two to tango. In this case, a thief wants the old-man's treasure and hires a zombie-wrangler to re-animate the waxed up relatives in order to sneak into the mansion and steal the treasure. It's up to the kung-fu fighting vampire hunters to save the day (or night).

Horror Vault's take

Set in 17th century China, Vampire Hunters plunges a band of kung-fu-wielding monster slayers into a chaotic night of undead mayhem when a scheming thief unleashes reanimated corpses upon a sprawling mansion. An eccentric patriarch's obsessive family ritual turns out to be the perfect recipe for disaster, and only the hunters stand between the living and an army of the waxen dead. Equal parts martial arts spectacle and creature-feature chaos, this Hong Kong horror-action hybrid delivers its scares with a distinctly frenetic energy.
