The Twelve Fairies

About This Movie

The Twelve Fairies, a 1990 flick, is an oddball mix of action, comedy, and fantasy that really leans into its wild premise. You’ve got this demonmaster taking on a young priestess who pulls in the powers of the Chinese zodiac through her twelve animal companions. The pacing is a bit all over the place but in a way that keeps things lively. The practical effects, while not always polished, have a certain charm and the costumes are delightfully over-the-top. The kung fu battles feel a bit out of place but add to the overall quirky vibe. It’s the sort of film that will likely elicit a chuckle or two, especially if you appreciate the bizarre intersections of genre and mythology.
