About Return of the Dead
Three inmates in an asylum tell their stories. Story 1, a husband and wife discover they should be careful what they wish for. Story 2, a naked female ghost gets revenge from her watery grave. Story 3, a dead prostitute returns as a ghost.
Directed by Li Han-Hsiang, Return of the Dead leans on a strong ensemble — Choh Seung-Wan, Ku Feng, Chan Wai-Ying — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1979.
