The Shaw Brothers are well known for their movies. They pump them out rather quickly
and to various degrees of quality. They’re usually good and always worthy of a night
at home with some popcorn. This movie is a little different.
It’s a
horror film, which no doubt back in 1975 would have been scary, but viewing it with
a modern mindset yields a different result. This is a movie about black magic –
or voodoo. We’ve got a black magic master (BMM) who speciality seems to be love
spells. Or is it death spells? Not too sure as they both seem to have the same
requirements to work!
