\"VAMPIRE<\/p>

\"Summer<\/p>

It asks a fun, spooky question: Can love survive even in the most supernatural situations?<\/span><\/p>

Honoring a Legend<\/span><\/h4>

The film is also a respectful nod to the late <\/span>Lam Ching-ying<\/b>, Hong Kong\u2019s most iconic vampire hunter from the legendary <\/span>Mr. Vampire<\/span><\/i> series. <\/span><\/p>

\"Lam<\/p>
