This movie contains a lot of different genres. It starts with something creepy, then they add a dose of humor and suddenly there is a hint of romance. And then they mix it all up. Wait, what?

While this may seem weird, it actually worked for me. I'm not a fan of scary movies but if they would be like this, I would watch them. I'm not saying that Conquering the Demons is like a horror movie, far from it, but I have to say that I didn't expect the demon hunting to be that... demonic. But then something funny happens and it's not so scary anymore.

I'm not sure why Show is in the middle of the poster, since his part wasn't that big. But it was still fun to watch him doing what he does best: being dorky! I also loved how Shu Qi portrayed a tomboyish fighter, instead of being just a pretty face.

Judging by the end scene, there might be a part two. If it will be with the same genres, I'll definitely watch that one too!
