Another black magic flick from Pang Ling, the man behind Brutal Sorcery! I had no idea this was made by the same guy, as I mistakenly had looked up the info for the 1988 Curse. A woman is in big trouble, seeing as she literally pissed a powerful wizard in the face in a past life. Needless to say, the wizard was less than happy about this incident and cursed the shit out of her. Every man she marries becomes unhealthily horny and eventually drops dead from exhaustion. As one mother-in-law puts it, the husbands become "too much engaged in marriage life". It takes ten husbands before our lead begin to realize that something is not right... Constantly dying husbands isn't enough for the pissed off (ehehehe) wizard though, so he also makes sure that a ghost rapist moves into her flat. Eventually she grows tired of all the raping, and Herman Kwan enters the fray. Kwan does his usual taoist priest routine and makes everything right (not really) with the often used Kwaidan-method (employed in Hex and Powerforce among others). Kwan explains that our lead is suffering due to the "cause and effect theory", which is his way of saying it was a bad idea to piss on that wizard way back when. Curse basically jumps from one ludicrous scene to the next (with pointless shower-scenes in between), and is a pure joy to watch. There's krasue, odd rituals, funky special effects, hopping vampires and raping ghosts. At one point a wizard drinks blood straight from a cow using a straw, before annihilating some unruly vampires by spitting it on them! Glorious!
