The Imp (兇榜; Taiwan name:魔界轉世/魔界轉生) is a 1981 Hong Kong horror film directed by Dennis Yu. In the film, a rookie security guard is targeted for killing by an imp. The imp eventually inhabits the body of the guard's newborn baby through spirit possession. The guard decides to commit infanticide by axe murder.
With a pregnant wife at home, Keung has been struggling to find a job when he finally finds work as a security guard in a commercial building. Strange incidents occur in the building and his colleagues begin to die one by one in horrible ways due to an imp.
A geomancer warns Keung that he will be the next victim and teaches him how to avoid fate. But Keung discovers the imp is trying to possess his baby. Failing to stop this, the ending shows him trying to kill the baby with an axe.
