Sorcerer Heavenly Master · Dark Hades

What it’s about

Wang Xuanzhi, next leader of the Heavenly Master Way, learns that the ancient heavenly demon was not destroyed a hundred years ago. As it died, it hid its primordial spirit inside his own body. Now the demon waits there, growing stronger while Wang Xuanzhi tries to suppress it.

What hooks you

Li Fei directs, and the cast is led by Ryan Kuo, Lu Yanbei, and Zhang Jiachuan. The film draws on Chinese fantasy traditions of heavenly masters and demons, with a conflict that is both internal and external. The premise of a hero fighting an enemy lodged in his own body gives the action a personal stake.

Who it’s for

It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys fast-moving action with a supernatural twist, and for those who like stories where the hero's greatest enemy is hidden within himself.
