本片为邵氏一部很经典的早期恐怖作品,导演孙仲把一个普通的冤鬼复仇的故事拍得百转千回扣人心弦.不光极尽恐怖惊悚邪异奇幻之能事,还几乎都是打着讽喻人世间情仇爱恨的招魂幡做警示恒言,这也增加了影片在故事上的可看度以及现实感.本片挂靠着尸变,红衣厉鬼,僵尸的元素上演了一段复仇戏码,小镇就几乎像是当时香港社会的缩影

Algy, Bulldog Drummond's right-hand-man, is getting married. Bulldog attends; on the way home, in the fog, he enters the (apparently deserted) mansion of Prince Achmed in search of a phone. He finds none, but he does find a body - which disappears when he summons a bobby. Bodies keep disappearing as Drummond keeps summoning the authorities, particularly his long-suffering upstairs neighbor, Captain Nielsen; the ever faithful Algy also finds his wedding night disrupted by, among other things, some emergency code-breaking. And of course, there's a beautiful woman (there's always a beautiful woman in the case), Lola, who turns out to be the daughter of the dead man who started all this.
