1983 • Hong Kong • Directed by Richard Yeung Keun
Originally planned to be part three of the Shaw Brothers’ Black Magic trilogy, due to its over-the-top blood-splattering nature and gross-out shock levels, Seeding Of A Ghost ran into censorship problems and was released under a new moniker. It’s an erotic gore-fest rivaling Hollywood’s best! Filled with gratuitous, corporeal nudity, the film stars the highly touted martial arts stars Phillip Ko in a non-fighting role as a taxi driver who seeks vengeance against the crazy hooligans that raped and killed his wife. By soliciting the help of a demented magician who agrees to assist him in finding and punishing his wife’s rapists, he must endure copulating dead bodies as his enemies perish in gut-wrenching, blood-spurting and body-exploding glory. This film goes down as one of Hong Kong’s goriest films ever made! This is the Cantonese version.
