          More supernatural Shaw Brother craziness.

          A hospital is full of patients suffering from mysterious and very icky ailments. A doctor believes that spells might be the cause and tries to convince his wife and colleagues, putting them all in danger from the black magician responsible.

          Black Magic 2 starts as it means to go on: in full-on bonkers mode, with a group of topless cuties taking a dip in a river only to be attacked by a unconvincing model crocodile that eats one of the girls. A white magician lures the reptile to its death and cuts it open. Cue the opening credits…

          The rest of the film is equally as insane, with plenty of those Hong Kong black magic movie staples, mucus, maggots and worms, plus zombies with metal spikes in their heads, potions made from burnt pubic hair, breast-milk drinking, and eye-ball eating. There's also a hilariously bad fight in and on a cable car (complete with really dreadful back projection), lots more gratuitous female nudity, and a fiery finale in the evil magician's home.

          It's by no means a great film—the plot is virtually non-existent—but Black Magic 2 dishes up more than enough weird nonsense to keep fans of cult oddities entertained.

          Fine early 70's HK gross-out horror.

          Two doctors Ti Lung and Lam Wai-tiu take wives Tanny Tien Ni and Lily Li on vacation and there they met the horrors of black magic.Lo Lieh plays an evil sorcerer,who whips female pubic hairs and breast milk into powerful zombie potions,controls his creations via giant metal spikes pounded into their heads.Not only does he turn Li into an walking dead after luring her from the group,he casts a love spell on both Ti's wife and his colleague.This surprisingly eerie Shaw Brothers productions offers some nifty special effects and gross-out moments.I enjoyed "Black Magic" and "Black Magic Terror" and this sequel to Meng Hua Ho's horror hit is also worth looking for.7 out of 10.

          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.

          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.)

          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".
