Simpson murder case, this documentary is sometimes painful, always illuminating entertainment.NR"

Lucy Walker`s DEVIL`S PLAYGROUND documents the Amish rite of passage known as Rumspringa, during which a young Amish person leaves the community to experience the English World or Devil`s Playground before they decide whether or not to join the Amish church. Walker pays particular attention to Faron, a young man who seems particularly adept at navigating the seamier side of the English World as he begins using drugs and acquires a girlfriend, even though he intends to return to the Amish community. Thoughtful and provocative without being exploitative, DEVIL`S PLAYGROUND manages to be both touching and shocking as it explores the volatility of adolescence and religious faith.NR"

An undertaker notices that one of his corpses, instead of staying dead, is turning into a vampire. One of the undertaker`s two bumbling assistants gets bitten, while the other falls in love with a beautiful ghost. Can one man stop the madness and put the dead back into the ground? The first of a popular comedy/horror series featuring the Chinese version of a movie vampire, a more corpselike creature than his western counterpart that sports long purple fingernails and yellow fangs and, when not levitating, hops like a bunny. A Hong Kong horror classic.
