Seeding of a Ghost (1983)

AKA: Zong Gui

Starring: Norman Chu, Phillip Ko
Director: Chuan Yang

Premise:
A taxi driver accidentally interrupts a black magic ceremony. The penalty for doing so has his wife raped and murdered. The driver seeks revenge on those who wronged him by using the dark magic which he stumbled upon to cause the events.

My Take:
It's a rather typical Shaw Brothers production with the black magic vs white magic theme, but that doesn't make it any less entertaining. There is so much wackiness in the final act of this movie and the ending is a must see. There is a reason the flick is called Seeding a Ghost.

Rating: In the Middle
