Reception
The Hollywood Reporter stated that the film was "enjoyable in a throwaway kind of way, and it’s forgotten as soon as the credits roll" and that the film finding that it "shamelessly trades in nostalgia for both the singularly Chinese creature and the goofy horror comedies Hong Kong pumped out in the 1980s and early ’90s." Edmund Lee of the South China Morning Post compared the film to Juno Mak's Rigor Mortis and the Wong Jing production Sifu vs Vampire that "we finally have an adequate homage to the comedic tradition immortalised by Mr Vampire (1985) and its sequels." The review gave the film a three out of five rating, concluding it as a "frothy yet genuinely likeable film"
