Blu-ray Review – Ghost Nursing

1982's "Ghost Nursing" sends an anti-"Ghostbusters" message, with the characters actually calling the ghosts when there's something strange in the neighborhood. It's a Hong Kong production from director Wilson Tong, who offers a heroic commitment to the wild and weird with the picture, showing little restraint when it comes to bizarre happenings involving supernatural and spiritual matters. The story follows a woman who's down on her luck, introduced to the ways of ghost child adoption to solve her problems, keeping up with blood offerings to stabilize her seemingly ruinous life. The tale is out there, but Tong supports such extremity with a lively viewing experience, filling the run time with macabre events and bewildering battles between good and evil. "Ghost Mother" is a real ride, shedding concern for logic as it hits highlights of genre filmmaking. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
