The Seventh Curse (1986)

AKA: Yuan Zhen-Xia yu Wei Si-Li

Starring: Chow Yun Fat, Maggie Cheung
Director: Ngai Kai Lam

Synopsis:
On a archeological search in Northern Thailand, a man rescues a girl from the local "Worm Tribe" from sacrifice. He has seven curses put on him. The curse helps to delay the curse for one year. Now the man is back to try and put an end to the curse and save his life.

My Take: A one of a kind movie which throws martial arts, comedy, bad gore, a supernatural tale, and some comedy in a big stew to marinate. The results are mixed. Dont take it too seriously and you might enjoy.

Rating: In the Middle
