Xie zhou

This insane Shaw Bros film is a must-see for fans of Seeding of a Ghost, Corpse Mania, The Seventh Curse. The plot is completely bonkers even for HK standards. A massacre in a Chinese courthouse disturbs a sleeping demon-one that looks like the tentacled being in Zulawski's Possession-who climbs out of a well and starts raping the women in the house. The surviving members of the extended family get bumped off one by one with a variety of sickening methods but nobody is in a hurry to leave. At some point a servant is bribed to leave the house but she gets raped the last moment. Despite the presence of several slimy creatures it's obvious this is more of a murder mystery than a supernatural horror film but it surely ain't your standard giallo. Lots of graphic rape scenes, gory murders, and disgusting little critters. You haven't seen anything till you see those funky "blood frogs." Celestial has yet to offer this unique film the high definition remaster it deserves. Luckily, it can be found on Youtube with English subtitles. If you're a fan of Hong Kong sleaze you can't do better!
