Joe and Herpes (yes - that's really his name, if you can believe the subtitles) are a pair of struggling writers. They team up with Yan, a beautiful ghost-hunter, to track down a killer, who they believe is a zombie infected with a strange virus.
It's pretty much a given that any HK horror is going to have a large dose of silly comedy. This is about 90% comedy and 10% horror, and the humor is generally on the level of a preschooler. Perhaps this film would have faired better as a children's movie, but as a Category IIB it seems a difficult sell to an adult audience. I don't think bad subtitles are to blame (though they certainly were bad) since many of the jokes were visual. For a much better zombie horror/comedy try "Bio Zombie" (also with Sam Lee). 2/10
