          Good but Not Great

          I had heard that this film and its in name only prequel were suppose to be some of the best of the of the Hong Kong Horror films. I very much liked the first film in a goofy gory sort of way, while this one just didn't grab me. I mean that almost literally since after about the first five or ten minutes I became distracted, not a good sign, and began to do other things while this un-spooled.

          Certainly its better than many horror films from the period, but at the same time, its just not as good as its reputation suggests. I suggest you try it, its not bad, just not the be all and end all, but if possible have the first film with it as a double feature.

          7 out of 10.

          (I will try it again at some point simply because it maybe a case of being over-sold before going in.)

          Extreme Chinese gore-horror sickness!

          Incredible Chinese horror sickie about an evil warlock who casts nasty spells and creates an army of living dead by driving magic nails into dead people's skulls. If the nails are removed, the zombies rot into viscous messes. All kinds of ultra-vileness, such as worms slithering from wounds, eyeball-eating, a man pushing a spike through his face, the caesarean birth of a lump of putrescent tissue, pulsating sores, and more pretty good barf-inducing scenes. Weird and great, along the lines of The Devil. Stars Ti Lung and Lo Lieh, so you know there's a little martial arts action, such as a fight on a skylift. Rarely seen, so take any chance to see it you can - kill if you have to!

          Filled With Appalling Horror Imagery

          In a Hong Kong hospital, worried doctors scratch their heads about a patient covered with pulsating ulcers, who is diagnosed as suffering from black magic. Another patient has worms crawling under his skin. It's the work of a zombie master named Fang, who hangs out in discos, drinks human milk to survive, and drives a Mercedes-Benz.

          He picks up a woman at a bar, takes her to his basement dungeon, and pulls a long spike out of the top of her head with a pair of tongs. The spike enables his zombie spell, so right away she keels over, turns into a hag, and expires.

          Fang captures one of the doctor's wives, demanding, "I shall drink your milk every day, understand?" The rest of the movie's dubbed dialogs is just as wild. Using his victim's pubic hair, he creates a potion to make her produce milk. Meantime, the doctors sit around talking about how they don't believe in magic.

          Eventually, they set a trap for Fang but it backfires. Only one man is left to confront the magician, as well as an army of zombies that includes some of his friends, who have been "spiked." Much of the film's horror imagery is appalling: One woman becomes pregnant overnight and aborts a monstrous fetus; someone who tries to double-cross Fang starts pulling out clumps of his hair and quickly melts into a fleshy blob.

          Much scarier than Hollywood's tripe!

          "Bewitched Tame Head" is one of the most memorable scare films of the far east and of my native Hong Kong. It is a lot of fun, but don't be eating a full meal yet!

          A doctor is investigating some strange and disturbing happening in his hospital, such as people being covered in gaping scabs all over body, parasites, worms and snakes under people's flesh and girls having abortions, only to find out that they have "aborted" undead monster fetuses. If that is not enough, there is a pretty damn wicked mage who grabs out the corpses of dead females, pound spikes into their skull and make them become the living dead, only if you remove the spike, the undead shall melt away and living girls being used as guinea pigs by the wicked mage. (DON'T WORRY, I WON'T SPOIL EVERYTHING!)

          If you are sick of Hollywood's slasher flicks or want more variety in Horror/Supernatural cinema, check out the "Tamed Head series".

          Singapore locations

          It is some time since I had watched a Hong Kong film from the Shaw Brothers and this turned out to be quite a surprise. Number one was the fantastic clarity of the picture (thank you Blu-ray) but No.2 was that instead of being set in the British colony, these are Singapore locations. Mainly we see the botanical gardens but also a glimpse of Orchard Road and the cable cars going over to the island. No sight at all of Chinatown! Story is crap, acting pretty much the same but there is so much vigour here and the urge to put everything in that we get quite a concoction. I liked the nine inch nails, hammered in and wrenched out of people's skulls, the main protagonist's need to drink human milk (one of many opportunities for nudity) and the gory seeping body fissures brought on by the infamous 'black magic'. Not for everyone but rather a novelty.
