While
possessed by a Black Magic spirit, a man murders his daughter. Then, a
police detective investigating the case also becomes possessed. This film
may be the archetype for this genre [which also includes BLACK
MAGIC, BLACK
MAGIC II, THE
DEVIL STRIKES, BLOOD
RITUAL, SEEDING
OF A GHOST et al] and director Kuei Chih-Hung is truly
the undisputed king. Here are black magic rituals and truckloads of gory
results as victims eat raw meat, drink from a vat of fetuses, suffer from
the worm spell, spew insects and endure many shocks that go far
beyond the boundaries of cinematic good taste.
Director
Kuei Chih-Hung was responsible for a large number of the 'video nasty'
CAT III movies, including BAMBOO
HOUSE OF DOLLS, CURSE
OF EVIL, KILLERS
ON WHEELS, CORPSE
MANIA, SPIRIT
OF THE RAPED, HEX
and VIRGINS
OF THE SEVEN SEAS. After making 38 films - mostly for the Shaw
Bros between 1974-84 - Kuei Chih-Hung retired to Los Angeles USA where
he died at age 61 in October 1991 from liver cancer.
