A LONG TIME AGO, IN A MOVIE STUDIO JUST OFF CLEARWATER BAY.As special effects-driven horror and sci-fi cinema dominated the global box office in the 1970s, Hong Kongs mightiest film studio Shaw Brothers not only followed suit but took things one step beyond!One of Shaws most beloved cult classics, Hua Shans tokusatsu tribute Super Inframan stars Danny Lee (The Killer) as the titular high-kicking superhero, defending the planet against a demon queen and her legion of subterranean mutant minions. Lee also stars as a monster vigilante issuing vicious justice in Ho Meng-huas creeptastic Oily Maniac and as the prince granted magical powers in Pao Hsueh-lis fantastical wuxia Battle Wizard. Director Ho next treats us to a double-helping of occult mayhem with Black Magic and its sequel, where Ti Lung battles wicked voodoo doctors with the power to cast spells and raise the dead. Four more doses of unhinged madness follow from Kuei Chih-hung in the form of Bewitched and the Hex trilogy, an unforgettable quadruple serving of possession and witchcraft that presaged his notorious brain-melting classic The Boxers Omen.Master filmmaker Chor Yuen adds a hefty dose of horror to his trademark wuxia-mystery style in Bat Without Wings, in which a young sword fighter must end a deranged martial arts master-turned-multiple murderers perverted rampage. Hua Shan returns with Bloody Parrot, an eye-poppingly vivid horror fantasy about two swordsmen hunting a demon that offers to grant wishes, only to leave a messy trail of destruction in its wake. Lau Kar-wings kung fu jiangshi comedy The Fake Ghost Catchers sees two conmen unwittingly enlisted to battle spirits from the underworld, while Tang Tak-cheungs hair-raising wuxia fantasia Demon of the Lute has to be seen to be believed. Yang Chuens gruesome splatterfest Seeding of a Ghost has a taxi driver enlist a necromancers help in avenging the murder of his wife, with sickening results; and Hua Shan returns with Portrait in Crystal, a deliriously imaginative tale of a murderous swordswoman brought to life through a crystal sculpture.
