About Man of Nasty Spirit
Set during the Ming Dynasty, this erotic drama tells the tale of a gender-shifting religious leader who deflowers virgins in order to absorb their life force. Long ensconced in the family of Dr. Yue, he now sets his sights on Yue's daughter, Bao. But Bao's strange invisible tattoos and her connection to starving scholar Chao Chuen change the dynamics, and it seems that her body art may provide clues to a cure for Chuen's ill mother.
Directed by Chen Chun-Liang, Man of Nasty Spirit leans on a strong ensemble — Pauline Chan Bo-Lin, William Ho, Lau Ho-Man — 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 fantasy titles of 1993.
