Cannibal Curse (1988)

Cannibal Curse

3 reviews
4/10

Bizarre and funny (not in a good way)

I too got this movie from the Tales of Voodoo double disc. The movie itself is a bizarre mish-mash of Asian rituals, repressed love, and sterile sex scenes. From the box I expected an Asian cannibal movie, but cannibals have very little to do with this flick.

The story is some convoluted mess about reincarnated loves, rituals of the occult, and a snake god. The main character is looking for her long lost love who was killed 20 years earlier. Why only 20 years? Trust me, it is not worth it to delve into the specifics of this movie's plot lines. Through it all we get horny cousins, Asian men in Speedos, and 2 old wizards cut straight out of the worst old kung fu movie. The whole thing is a bit of a blur since the captioning was not formatted to fit the television screen.

The most unique part of the film was the mysterious white fuzzy dot that would cover the female pubic area during the sex scenes. In one particularly acrobatic scene the little white dot gets quite the workout. There must be copies of this movie floating around that provide the fullest female frontal this side of porn. Breasts are a plenty, but all full frontal is fuzzed out.

I knew going in the Curse would be more of a curiosity than anything else. It was fun to see what Philipinos view as sexy and scary. The obvious ties to Asian beliefs are interesting, if not hard to follow. Gorehouds avoid since this one provides very little blood, save for the last scene.

Cannibal Curse

Cannibal Curse (1987)

1/2 (out of 4)

Incredibly bad Hong Kong flick but I'm really not too sure what it's about. A mad doctor (or something) in the jungle has beautiful Asian women bath in a (?) magic pond then go out and have sex with men. Or something like that. Either way the film is simply boring and pretty poorly made and no, there aren't any cannibals in the film. The original title was Curse but perhaps they should have added some flesh eaters. The only thing that keeps me from giving this sucker a BOMB is the fact that there's a lot of beautiful Asian chicks getting naked throughout the film. Yeah, I'm nice like that.
