"Those Merry Souls (aka From the Great Beyond) felt like uncovering buried treasure – perhaps not a case of gold doubloons – but a lovely discovery nonetheless. I have never heard mention of this Yuen Biao film from anyone, but it turned out to be an enjoyable genre mixture of comedy, action and the supernatural. All three genres are handled quite well and the movie is a fast enjoyable 90-minutes of fun…In terms of action Yuen has two good fights against a group of neighborhood roughnecks, and then in the final showdown with Death there is some action from both Yuen and Lam Ching-Ying. The film is quite enjoyable and it takes time to develop the characters and the relationships of everyone." – View from the Brooklyn Bridge
