Guai wu xian sheng (2020)
Campy, sappy, exhilarating fun - like an 80's American occult-themed movie!

I enjoyed the daylights out of this movie - I mean, the other reviews aren't really wrong - it's like eating cotton candy. That said, during the pandemic - don't we all need a little cotton candy? And who, I ask, is better at making that than China?
This is, in fact, based on the book by Texan author A. Lee Martinez - and it does seem awfully American in theme in a lot of ways, but the setting and characters feel pretty true to China.
Don't think about it too much - just give it a watch on a day when you need a little pick-me-up.
