Erotic Ghost Story (1990): A Landmark of Category III Cinema

The story follows three fox spirits (vixens)— (Amy Yip), Pai So-So (Man Siu), and Fei-Fei (Hitomi Kudô)—who have meditated for 1,000 years to shed their animal natures and become human. In the final month of their transformation, they encounter a handsome scholar named Wu Ming (Pal Sinn).

I’ve been tracking down the 1990 erotic ghost story credited on wwwddrmoviesactor (user “u”) and wanted to share what I’ve found — plus a few leads for anyone who wants to help dig deeper.

The entertainment industry will continue to produce romantic dramas because we will never stop needing them. We watch to remember past loves, to rehearse future ones, or simply to feel something in a sterile world.

The best romantic dramas feature flawed protagonists. Think of Fleabag’s hot priest or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind ’s Joel and Clementine. Perfect people falling in love is fantasy. Broken people finding each other is drama.

The film is a loose adaptation of the classic Chinese literary work Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio , specifically the story "The Wicked Scholar." It follows three fox spirits who have assumed human form and are living as sisters in a secluded house. They have vowed to abstain from sexual relations to achieve immortality, but their resolve is tested when a charming, yet demonic, scholar named Wu Ming moves in next door.
