    Another excellent effort by the great Ngai Kai Lam. Chow Yun Fat with a bazooka - enough said.

    Awesome! One of my favourite Hong Kong films, this has everything. Ghost fetuses, a cool monster, gore, massive killings, bazookas and Chow Yun Fat. A hell of a lot of fun and highly recommended.

    The Seventh Curse is a prime example of Hong Kong film-making at its craziest and most over the top. It's goofy, violent, and fun. Filled with kung fu, evil sorcerers, the undead, gunfights, crazy alien baby monsters, gore, human sacrifice, ass-kicking monks, and Chow Yun Fat. If...( read more) you haven't seen this, then you should probably go do that now.

    Seventh Curse was directed by the one and only Ngai Kai Lam, who was also responsible for the legendarily gory Story of Ricky. He brings his unique brand of weird to The Seventh Curse.

    If you like crazy Hong Kong movies at all and you haven't seen The Seventh Curse, go watch it. It's mindless, stupid, and totally entertaining. I guess even that hack Wong Jing (who wrote the screenplay) does something right now and then.

    That plot summary is one of the best things i have read in a long time.
