Dunshu, not Dunjia. And who knows where the first film is? Chinese fantasy cinema is an absolute mess right now, but if you don't care too much about franchises, and you're capable of letting go of structure and sense, there's a lot of fun to be had with these films. Case in point, Dunshu 2.
Plot be damned though, this is a mad fantasy spectacle. The pacing is incredible, the CG is functional (and somewhat better than usual) and the action scenes are fun. There's nothing too original here, it's the usual folklore creatures and demons trying to best the humans, but it's a lot of fun if you like this kind of thing.
