"It seems that almost any film made in the eighties is better than the crap we get mostly today, in particular for horror fans. This was the last film in the Shaw Brother's "Black Magic Trilogy" (1975 Black Magic and 1983 Boxers Omen) and made in 1983 it was a gore effects gooey rubber splatterfest. No CGI here we have guts, blood, magic wizards, naked bodies, rotten corpses, and supernatural necrophilla...wow. Although the horror is really too over the top to be scary, it is still fun to watch the wacky politically incorrect monster effects sorry ladies. I have read some reviews that compare it to John Carpenters "The Thing" and "Evil Dead" but it might be actually a little of both, gooey rubber tentacled monsters that morph out of random body parts like "Thing" and crazy horror lunacy like "Evil Dead". So sample the Asian craziness in a culture that makes it's films without a rating system and before Asian horror became nothing more than long haired groaning female ghosts."
Sick and twisted voodoo Asian style

"Tons of nudity,a corpse and weird gross rituals.Forget the plot you can read that in the editorial review from Amazon.If you like horror movies about unfaithful wives, possesion and the dead then check this Chinese gore out.If you like sleaze then you won't be dissapointed.Just don't expect The Exorcist.Do expect nastiness and a silly,goofy,laughable goodtime."
