Wow! Such a good movie.

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

There are the British video nasties, and the Japanese Pink films; in Hong Kong, it is Catagoty III. I am not sure what to expect, but I do know they censored Ichi the Killer, so it can't be worse that that.This is a film about hexing and enchantments with some sex and violence thrown in. One guy gets enchanted and starts chopping up his wife and son and guests. It's bloody, but hilarious, too.Four friends go to Thailand and get involved with a wizard. Believe it our not, he turns one into a dick-head. They are forced to watch a wizard battle, and things get really ridiculous and funny. Bon (Kwok-Pong Chan) is left behind as the three friends open an enchantment sent to him, and go after the wizard's sister. The wizard comes after them when they return home, and plans to take May (Ellen Chan) when he is finished with them. He has a gruesome death planned for each of them.Things get very weird and bloody after he accomplishes his mission.May's friend Mei (Lily Chung) is a witch and has a plan you will not believe. Unfortunately, the wizard gets the last laugh.Almost as funny as the movie are the subtitles.

Sexy,funny and best of all scary tale of a wizard taking revenge on a group of friends for events that occurred on a trip to Thailand. Adding into the mix is his desire to destroy not only the friends but the fiancé of one of them.Why isn't this better known? Its a great little film that has great effects, a great story and chills. Did I mention that this is one of the rare Chinese horror films that actual scared me, and not just grossed me out? Not for kids, but adults who want a sexy, scary funny movie should put this on their list since they will be in for a treat.

Even though I was perplexed by the title, this film is a unique mix of Hong Kong horror and comedy!!Ellen Chan is a hotty!! You can't really blame Laimi, can you?? I cannot describe this movie to do it justice, but DON'T insult a wizard with good hearing (heh heh). There's spellcasting, hexes, and some grisly death scenes, but it's not too shocking or gory to lose sleep over. The magic duel is unique and shows a new meaning of "tag team". The finale is the highlight of the film and depicts a battle I've never seen before in cinema.Watch this....espeically for Ellen!!

this is an over the top hk. horror/enchanter type film with not a little dark humour and a wonderful erotic ending which you should not take your auntie to see.Its an original,which i dont think, was ever meant to go outside asia.Not the best hk. horror but still rather good.For something different yes its worth a watch and a great unusual ending.
