This Hong Kong Thailand horror is sought after by a lot of horror buffs. That's strange because there's no gore in it. Still, when it pops up on ebay it goes over a few hundred dollars. It's only available on Japanese VHS but not dubbed or on Ocean Shores Video Limited label which is dubbed.
The dubbing itself is stupid and laughable. But you don't watch it for the dubbing. You watch it for the flick that is all about possession and black magic. Some scene's are a bit weird like the one with the bull but it's a must see for the possession itself. Alan Chang, the taxi driver involved with black magic do thrown up noodles. There's no gore but it has a small bit of blood. Alan also moves forward to cheating his wife. But the affair goes wrong, she puts curses out on Alan. Your in the middle of the movie then and from here the black magic or brutal sorcery comes in. In that particular scene we do have full frontal nudity by the sorceress.
The effects used are two-penny effects and the acting isn't Oscar worthy either. But it's an utterly trashy flick with some cheesy moments like when making love Alan says,"Honey I can't come in, you have seen being blocked, You feel like a virgin". She replies, "I'm horny". You'll get the point, or watch the cockney accent of the whore. The score do add towards the creepiness of some parts.
Just have a close look at the VHS cover, does it ring a bell? Yes, the coloured skull used for 'Inferno' by Dario Argento. I liked it and it never bored me, I watched it with a smile on my face, maybe it was the brutal sorcery.
