Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
trashgang Hong Kong horror from the eighties but as cheesy as it can get. And due being cheesy and having laughable conversations it became a cult classic and it shows because it's becoming really hard to get this flick. It was available in Cantonese language with English subs on DVD but it vanished the earth and it rather goes for a lot of money when it pops up on the internet. But it's worth the hunt if you can dig cheesy horror. The effects were indeed laughable and were done in stop motion or the use of green and purple lighting or with editing but you will keep watching it and it never becomes boring. I can't even say that it is a supernatural flick or a ghost story because it has elements of all kind of genres from the world of horror. Of course it's famous for a few scene's, the eating of the intestines of a dog aren't for the squeamish and there's also some bit of animal cruelty with an eagle. It starts rather good with the vase giving one's man a curse that makes his face immediately change into a face full of maggots and puss. From there on it takes a while before things go wrong but once the possession is in the house you will have some fun while watching it. And you must be prepared for some effects. Seeing is believing. I also liked the wizard or priest having his fight against the possessed body. It starts so nice and turns into the cheesiest moments of Mo Tai or Devil Fetus.There's no nudity to spot maybe some will say the raping at the beginning contains nudity but nothing is shown. There's not that much of blood but the animal cruelty and the scene with the walls will deliver for the gorehounds. A must see and I admit that I never heard of this flick until a week or two ago, shame on me.Gore 1,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
ElijahCSkuggs The story of a demon spirit (or devil) possessing and terrorizing a very unfortunate family. There's a little backstory to this but basically this is the main theme. And even though it's a simple story, the flick delivers more than enough fun for any fan of HK craziness.With a certifiably evil spirit, some sorcery battles, and even some genuine chills, Devil Fetus delivered a whole lot more than I was anticipating. Just a couple parts where the movie dragged and a possible, stupid Eagle slaying (if real), had me bored and kinda upset. But with a horny, disgusting, slimy devil trying to get some missionary action with any chick on the menu, it easily makes you forget about any boring parts.If you're a fan of weirdo hybrid genre flicks, this is almost a must-see. Give it a look-see if you're hunkering for a Devil, a Fetus, and some Hong Kong sorcery magic. Also, the ending ain't too shabby either. Oh, one other thing, if you have the ability to watch it with surround sound, don't hesistate. This flick has some awesome sound effects and music that will shake the hell outta you and the room you're watching it in. 7.5 outta 10
BA_Harrison With a terrific title and its Cat III rating, I was hoping that Devil Fetus would be the ideal antidote to some of the dreadful US horror output that I have seen recently. Unfortunately, with an incomprehensible story and risible effects, this low-budget Hong Kong effort is hard-going, even for a fan of bad movies like me.A woman buys a strange jade vase, which the seller says will bring her good luck. However, in reality, a nasty randy demon resides within the ornament and emerges from time to time to get it on with its new owner. When the woman's husband comes home to find the slimy creature banging his missus, he smashes the vase, releasing the monster in a cloud of smoke. The husband's face rots away and both he and his wife wind up dead.At their funeral, a priest witnesses the dead woman giving birth to the demon's offspring and attempts to trap it using magic. This works for a while, but inevitably, the 'devil fetus' is eventually freed and sets out to cause all sorts of trouble...From hereon in, things get kind of confusing (thanks to dreadful direction and lousy editing), with the creature possessing various people (and animals) and 'jumping' from host to host when necessary, and I found it a struggle to remain interested. When the viewing of a film takes me three consecutive nights to complete, I know it's a stinker! For those who manage to stay the distance, there is some half decent gore (my favourite moment being a head which is squished against a pane of glass), a couple of iffy moments involving real animals suffering for their art, and a whole shed-load of shonky visual effects (which include laser-beam eyes, flying furniture and what I can only describe as a multiple tentacled-head attack!).But for those looking for truly a satisfying outrageous and gory piece of Cat III fun, I would definitely recommend trying elsewhere.
coffeyaddict This movie would have been better without the actual dead German Shepherd. Did they kill the dog for the movie, or did they just happen to have one? It's not a fake prop, it's just sad.There is a great scene with the monk trying to exorcize the demon.
