The police murders a bunch of chicks worshiping a deity called "Carla", and stops them from sacrificing a kid. Sadly, the witch got a blood curse up her sleeve and the poor copper finds himself hexed at the end of their encounter. As we all know by know, hexes are no laughing matter and our protagonists soon find themselves in a bit of ghostly troubles. The cursed copper in question is not really the protagonist though, as the Carla worshipers seem more interested in offing his sister and her young daughter. Seeing as the sister is a reporter, the film dabbles with ghost photography. The photos proving the existence of Chinese ghosts should have gotten her the Pulitzer, but sadly the photos have to be burned. At one point taoist priest, Herman Kwan, enters the story, and proceeds to sort shit out by throwing yellow paper and doggy blood all over the place. Dead Curse has all the stuff I appreciate in these black magic flicks - human sacrifices, Carla-worshipers, ludicrous possessions, boobies, bikers, kiddie ghosts pretending to be E.T. and haunted pepsi cans. Relatively coherent and enjoyable!
