Master Qianhe

While there's an unstoppable flood wave of Chinese fantasy films, they seem quite attached to very specific niches. Master Qianhe harks back to the horror/fantasy films of the mid to late 80s, with Taoist priests battling various types of demons (but usually vampires). Always amusing, but not too popular nowadays.

Qianhe is a respected Taoist master, but while traveling by train bandits seize control and leave Qianhe stranded seven days away from his destination. He decides to continue his travels by foot, on his way there, he'll pass by several places where people are in dire need of his help.

Qianhe has to take on the usual demons (foxes and snakes are popular these days) and does so with the help of his Taoist skills (read magic). The CG isn't up to par, but the sets, costumes, and color work make up for that. It's just a shame that the ending is a bit too long and sappy, otherwise this would've been prime filler. Still fun though.
