Golden Butterfly, the Lady Thief
Lui Yik-pang is reduced to his wits' end to rein the Golden Butterfly. Chong Tak-ming emerges as the suspect. The friendship and ties between former classmates Lui and Chong date back years ago. When the impoverished Chong turned to banditry, Lui abided by the law and arrested Chong. Chong repented and bore no grudges. Chong's daughter Ching-han and Lui's son Siu-man are lovers. Ching-han reinvents herself as a chivalrous bandit and robs the rich to help the poor after the imprisonment of her father and the death of her mother. Endowed with her father's gifts, Ching-han remains out of the law's reach, until she is tailed by the father enlisted in the police service. A bitter row ensues; the father's underling Sung Sing-biu snatches the stolen goods and activates the security system. Ching-han is prepared to turn herself in when Sung surrenders himself as a gesture of gratitude to his benefactor. Attending the wedding banquet, Lui brings his son and daughter-in-law a golden butterfly.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

SCAREGIVERS is a broad comedy horror flick from the Philippines and shot in Tagalog. It's a silly piece of guff about a goofy couple of guys who indulge in cross-dressing and the like. They also happen to be bumbling crooks who are caught and shipped off to a mental institute after their latest attempt at a crime. While there, they discover the place is haunted and attempt to solve the mystery of the haunting. The film is too cheap for much in the way of supernatural stuff, but there's plenty of hapless comedy and overacting from the two leads. Some of the OTT humour is similar to that found in Hong Kong cinema (e.g. the MY LUCKY STARS films) although not as slick or amusing.
