The Demon's Baby (1998)
"A general (gets) rich from looting a tomb, where he also happened to unearth 5 demon spirits that were sealed there. These demons are a nasty bunch, taking root in a pregnant woman and corrupting both her and the fetus. If all 5 demons get as far as birth, it's the end of the world."
Made at end of the HK film boom and it's noticeable I'm afraid...
The first 45 mins is mainly (decent) drama/romance stuff but then it's horror time...however after some good WTF moments this quickly loses it's way.
It all ended up leaving me somewhat disappointed.
The apparent small budget and continuity problems (possible censor cuts?) didn't help.

Nice to see Anthony Wong as a good priest here though.

The Haunted Cop Shop (1987)
"Ricky Hui and Jacky Cheung star as Chiu and Macky, two wacky cops who are witness to the resurrection of an evil Japanese vampire. It seems their police station was once a club for Japanese officers, but after the war they all got together and committed seppuku (ritual suicide)."
Fun horror comedy that made me start looking for it's sequel because that's supposed to be even better.

Another entertaining Ricky Hui film (he's also in The Trail)!

Check out this scene from HCS:
2 motorcycle cops,who are eagerly helping our heroes (who have just stumbled upon the residence of a priest) find "a woman junkie running around naked" (actually a female vampire),turn up to tell them they've found the "woman addict"!
Spoilers!
