It is one of the greatest swordplay-fantasy movies ever to come out of Hong Kong. The cinematography is so beautiful you could make a poster out of almost every shot.

I love the Hong Kong wuxia and fantasy films from that period, before they switched to CGI overload for the special effects. I'd love to have them all in my collection. Hopefully, the Chinese Ghost Story trilogy, Green Snake, Butterfly Sword, etc. are also on the horizon.

Bride with White Hair is one of HK's golden era finest releases. As noted, it's solid, artistic work with some pretty transgressive plotting and the most amazing photography by one of HK's greatest cinematographers, Peter Pau. He went on to do the beautiful Phantom Lover which is gorgeous and he even reunited with Ronny Yu to make Bride of Chucky to rise above its pulpy roots. In my opinion, that's the best of the movies in that particular franchise.

Yeah. Sometimes I think I like part 2 better than the original. They're all great.

Yup, they are all excellent. Here is how I would rate them:

Chinese Ghost Story I 9/10
Chinese Ghost Story II 8/10
Chinese Ghost Story III 7/10
