Banana Spirit

About This Movie

So, 'Banana Spirit' is quite the oddball mix. You've got Francis Ng as Chic, teaming up with a Taoist ghostbuster — Che — and they’re dragging their feet through a wild ride of comedic moments and some genuinely creepy vibes. The pacing's a bit bumpy, shifting from laugh-out-loud bits to moments that lean into horror, which keeps you guessing what’s next. The practical effects are charmingly low-budget, giving it that unique 90s feel. And let’s talk about the mobster Rabid Hsiung, a real piece of work; his presence adds a layer of tension. It’s this blend of genres that makes it distinctive, even if it doesn’t always land perfectly.
