Watch The Seventh Curse For Free

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Absolutely the worst movie.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Most of my life grew up watching Hong Kong movie,they really know how to mix martial arts with other genre like comedy,horror that gave us many classics movie like:Mr Vampire,A Chinese Ghost Story..... the list go on and went i found out the director of Riki Oh(probably the most goriest and crazies kung fu movie ever) Ngai Choi Lam has made a horror comedy before that called:The Seventh Curse with Chow Yun Fat( my personal favorite Hong Kong actor ever) so i really excited to check it out and I'm kinda disappointed right now.Don't get the wrong idea i still appreciated for what it is: a dumb,silly over the top black magic movie mix with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom plus a ton of gore, kung fu fight scene featuring fake monks and a funny plastic skeleton called Old Ancestor soon later turned into a ridiculous winged monster(that totally look like a man in suit) fighting a small baby looking monster.If they keep the level of bizarre like this i would not having any problem but the things is the whole movie feel so rush and fast pacing that some scene in the movie just magically end without any explanation which make me very upset because i thought i was watching the cut version of the movie so i check the IMDb and found out it actually the run time of the movie: 1h 18min can your guys believe it ?

THE SEVENTH CURSE is an unusual little film from Hong Kong, set in Thailand for the most part and featuring plenty of action and very little plot. It's a dark horror/fantasy that has its basis in the queasy Hong Kong horrors like BLACK MAGIC and HEX, as the central character discovers that he's been put under a 'blood spell' which spells imminent death unless he can kill the evil wizard who put him under it.This is the most popular of the Chinese film series featuring the character of 'Wisely', a pipe-smoking professor who fights evil in his spare time. Chow Yun-Fat essays the role here, but as this was before he really hit the big time, he doesn't have a great deal of screen time, although he does make the most of when he appears and that bit at the climax is a hoot.Chin Siu-Ho is a rather stolid lead, and the storyline gets saddled with an ultra-irritating Maggie Cheung as a reporter who tags along for the ride. But the supporting cast is much better: Joyce Godenzi (EASTERN CONDORS) shows up alongside Sibelle Hu, Kara Hui, Yasuaki Kurata, and best of all one of my favourite Hong Kong stars, Dick Wei, who ISN'T cast as the bad guy for a change! Seeing Wei rip up the screen on the side of good is a real treat, and makes this a film impossible to dislike.Elsewhere, THE SEVENTH CURSE is a film fuelled by effects-enhanced mayhem, featuring all manner of bizarre creations. There's the usual army of black-clad cult members, some acrobatic Buddhist monks, a couple of living skeleton monsters, and creatures that look like the alien from ALIEN in both baby and adult form. The effects are rubbery but fun, and there's plenty of artery-spraying gore for the horror fans to enjoy. Alongside ALIEN, a big inspiration here seems to be RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, as THE SEVENTH CURSE has the same kind of madcap, action-heavy exotic adventure. It may not be high art, but it is a lot of fun.

Loaded with dazzling kung fu, silly monsters, stunts, and cheesy gore, and even managing to throw in the occasional naked oriental chick, The Seventh Curse is sheer entertainment from start to finish.Chin Siu Ho plays Yuan Chen, a brave adventurer who rescues a beautiful Thai woman about to be sacrificed by the evil (and squeaky voiced) Aquala (played by Cat III fave, Elvis Tsui), leader of a bloodthirsty 'worm tribe'. Unfortunately, as a result of his bravery, he becomes the victim of a curse, which causes a series of arteries to burst from his body. With the seventh 'burst', he will die. However, this fate is postponed (for one year) by Betsy, the woman he has saved (who feeds him part of her breast!).When, 12 months later, the curse inevitably kicks back in, Yuan Chen must once again head to the jungles of Thailand in search of the cure for his predicament: magical grains of ash from the eyes of a giant statue of Buddha. Unfortunately, this statue is smack bang in the middle of 'worm tribe' country!Helping Yuan in his quest is a spunky reporter (a young Maggie Cheung), a Thai warrior (Dick Wei), and an expert in witchcraft (Chow Yun Fat). And he needs all the help he can get, since he not only has to battle the 'worm tribe' and its leader, but also a gang of kung fu monks, blood ghosts (vicious little buggers created from the blood of 100 children), and 'old ancestor', a skeletal zombie that can morph into a bat winged monster.The fight scenes are fast, furious and typically 80s in style (meaning that quite a few people crash through glass); the gore is frequent, OTT and very messy; and the monsters are cheap and cheerful rubber creations that are impossible not to find entertaining—meaning that The Seventh Curse is an unmissable treat for any fan of weird Asian cinema.

A cup who's been infected with a blood curse due to his interfering in a tribe's ritual has to go back to Thailand for a permanent cure. A snotty, spoiled female reporter tags along as well. I had fun with this movie. Martial arts, sorcery, demons, lots of blood, and some nudity what more can one ask for? However, keep in mind that Director Ngai Kai Lam's films are an acquired taste. I personally loved "Story of Ricky" and "Erotic Ghost Story", and while this isn't nearly as good as those two. It's better then "The Cat" and is a fun way to kill an hour and a half.My Grade: B- DVD Extras: Theatrical Trailer; Trailers for "Wo zai hei she hui de ri zi" (Triads the inside story), "Jiang hu long hu men" (flaming Brothers), "Ba xing bao xi" (Eighth Happiness) and "Qi yuan" (Witch from Nepal) Eye Candy: Sau-Lai Tsui enters the film in a wet white see-thru number and shows everything and wow she's hot, oh and a few extras are topless fleetingly
