Director Cub Chien (scare 2 die) brings his talents to The Vampire Who Admires Me, written and produced by Hong Kong hitmaker Wong Jing (The God of Gamblers). Model JJ Jia (La Lingerie) stars in this funny and frightful tale of a group of models who encounter the undead on a secluded island. Playing JJ's spoiled rival is buxom Natalie Meng (Beauty and the 7 Beasts), with models Maggie Li (See You in You Tube), Ankie Beilke (Connected), and Tanya Ng as the rest of their comely group. TVB actors Roger Kwok and Ha Yu play policemen alongside Gold Label singer Siufay, and character actors Sam Lee and Jo Koo take on supporting roles. As is usual with a Wong Jing production, the film is an avowed comedy, but Chien's horror background allows for some genuine scares, too.
Macy (JJ Jia) can see ghosts, and her talent is about to come in handy. She works as a model alongside pal Bibi (Ankie Beilke), and the two are whisked off to East Dragon Island on a photo shoot for fashion label Zombie. Lead photographer Roman (Sam Lee) wants a more atmospheric location for Zombie's scary print ads, and East Dragon Island is home to a creepy ancestral tomb that he chooses for a backdrop. Unfortunately, the tomb houses a powerful vampire, and he's hungry! While Macy spars with bratty Taiwanese model Chelsea (Natalie Meng) over the affections of Zombie's boss, King (Samuel Pang), the vampire has already begun turning people into flesh-craving undead. As the local populace begins dropping like flies, the models and the local law enforcement find themselves trapped in the police station, hoping to survive just one night on the island...
