THE MAGIC CURSE 1975 (SINISTER CINEMA)

Off the wall film from Hong Kong.

Wow, the film will knock your socks off!!!

This film is about a man who goes to the jungles of Borneo to find the plane crash that killed his uncle. He first runs into a colony of lepers who attack him and his party. He learns from one of the dying men that they were all cursed by an evil man named Abdullah.

His journey leads him to Abdullah who is the leader of a tribe of snake worshipers who uses black magic on anyone who gets in his way. The man, Man-Ying is shot with an arrow from one of Abdullah's followers and left for dead.

He is rescued by a tribe of Amazons led by Filona (Pinky de Leon). Man-Ying starts falling in love with her and soon he has to leave as he cannot possibly defeat Abdullah and get his late uncle's treasure from the plane crash site. Before he goes, Filona, a snake worshipping Amazon bites him on the lip and puts a curse on him. She tells him that ANY woman he has sex with will die a horrible death. When he returns to her, the curse will be lifted.

Well wouldn't you know, he returns to Hong Kong and immediately beds a woman who in turn dies, when it happens a second time the police suspect he is a killer. A police inspector returns with Man-Ying to the Borneo jungles and a final conflict with the black magician, Abdullah.

This is one wild assed film!! You have a mixture of Kung Fu, Horror, Action, Exploitation, and Romance. There is also plenty of gore and ample nudity to keep everyone interested. The film runs at a break neck speed and is enjoyable from start to finish.

The film is dubbed into english and the print is very good. Sinister brings us another highly recommended winner.
