Red Lamp Shaded in Blood

Directed by Fung Wong

With Connie Chan Po-Chu, Adam Cheng Siu-Chow, Ying Choi Cheung, Shih Kien and Nancy Sit Ka-Yin

Red Lamp Shaded in Blood is a decent Martial World film of the type that Chu Yuan made famous for Shaw Brothers. These are often based on the works of Jin Yong and Ku Long. Red Lamp features all the requisite tropes of the genre: various sects of the Martial World, an evil sect scheming to rule the Martial World, an outcast orphan sent on a quest, mystically acquired Martial Arts, a mysterious hermit, a mysterious killer and , of course, star crossed lovers.
