[Blu-Ray Review] The Haunted Cop Shop; Now Available From 88 Films 2The Haunted Cop Shop (1987) (Limited Edition) [Blu-Ray]

Director: Jeffrey Lau

Cast: Ricky Hui, Jacky Cheung, Kitty Chan

Release Date: October 6, 2026

A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Release Rating: 8/10

Synopsis:

The Haunted Cop Shop is a wildly entertaining Hong Kong horror-comedy that blends supernatural chills with slapstick humor and irreverent genre mashups, marking an early screenplay credit for Wong Kar-wai long before his rise as an arthouse auteur. Directed by Jeffrey Lau, the film taps into the late-1980s boom of ghost comedies, combining eerie folklore with outrageous comedy and energetic performances from stars Jacky Cheung and Ricky Hui

Set in a police station built atop a former wartime site once occupied by Japanese soldiers, the film unleashes a wave of restless spirits who return to haunt the living. When a group of bumbling, underachieving cops find themselves assigned to the precinct, they must confront increasingly bizarre and dangerous paranormal encounters. As the hauntings escalate, it becomes clear that surviving the night will require more than courage–it will take luck, ingenuity, and a willingness to embrace the absurd.
