What the hell did I just watch? This is one of the most amazingly over the top/batshit insane films I’ve ever seen. Made by the Shaw Brothers who were most well known for their martial arts extravaganzas (with a surprisingly high percentage including the word Shaolin in the title)… here we get a martial arts extravaganza horror film in which our lead is a former mobster turned demon hunting monk fighting plastic bats, crocodile skulls and what can only be described as a flying alien head with a flopping spinal cord. Also enough bugs in it to make even Argento say "That's a bit excessive." It’s just weird. Amazingly so. I love the scene where a necromancer separates his own head from his body to fight rather than use the kung fu he obviously has. By most standards this film is probably awful.... but I just freaking loved its zaniness. 8/10
Rather than write more, just enjoy a few screen shots and do yourself a favor and find this weird ass movie.
