Deadly Kung Fu action with Jennie Kermode
When the world of wuxia meets the chaotic energy of modern flat life, things get wonderfully weird. Fergal Costello’s latest adventure brings the martial arts spectacle to Dublin, starring the dynamic duo Steven He and Michael Tient, who navigate a magical world that hilariously collides with contemporary reality.
The story follows Danny and Frank, two friends who are living their best lives in the mundane world of pest control. Business is tight, and life is ordinary, until their search for a simple fix leads them down an unexpected, and frankly, grim path. They are initially focused on a local rat infestation, a problem they are determined to solve in their everyday existence.
But this quest for pest control quickly escalates into something far more mythical. The presence of those rats is merely the prelude to a far larger, more powerful mystery lurking just beneath the surface. It turns out that the rodent problem is inextricably linked to a far more dangerous, ancient presence.
The deeper they dig, the more they uncover a plot steeped in folklore and deadly ambition. Two local men, driven by a hunger for immortality, have conspired to acquire a gorgeous antique Chinese coffin. Inside this ornate vessel lies a deadly secret: an aggressive, unkillable jiangshi, a powerful spectral entity unleashed long ago by the demon queen Min-chun.
As Danny and Frank stumble across the release of this monstrous figure, their ordinary lives are irrevocably shattered. Their journey transforms from a mundane search for vermin into a high-stakes adventure where ancient demons, martial arts history, and modern friendship collide, promising plenty of traditional thrills and comedic mayhem.
