About Spirit of the Ancient Grave
The movie is a horror movie with a deep moral. A number of ghosts appear in the movie, including a ghost that escaped from the Ghost Gate, an unjust ghost released from the City of Wasted Death, a sleazy ghost trapped in the Beauty Gate and a living hangman's neck.
Directed by Wong Toi, Spirit of the Ancient Grave leans on a strong ensemble — Pak Yin, Cheung Ying, Tse Yik-Chi — 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 1939.
