Like Arthur Clarke stated, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Of course, he also stated in his Three Laws that, “The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.” Not to bastardize or try to twist Clarke’s statements to fit my little movie review too much, but this second declaration amply sums up the predicament of this film’s protagonists better than the first one, in my opinion. Whether the irrationality presented in the magic they encounter could eventually be explained by science is debatable. They were believers in the science they could quantify, and while they don’t become disbelievers of same, they have to expand their way of seeing the world. Still, when they see the patients and are allowed to study their afflictions (including the patented worms-crawling-under-the-skin bit), they are forced to change the focus of their views. There's also the prerequisite battle between the good magician (the white-haired witch doctor from the beginning of the film) and the black magician, where the black magician drives giant nails into his own cheeks and hands while the good magician rips out his own eyes and gives them to the hero for protection!

There's so much more insanity on view, including grave robbing, dead cat whipping, breast milk squirting, stop-motion disintegrations, skin lesions containing slimy worms and a zombie attack in the finale that is as surreal as it is horrific. He then hammers a giant spike into the tops of their heads and, presto!, instant zombie with a youthful appearance. The screenplay, by I Kuang (THE KILLER SNAKES - 1974), gets increasingly more bizarre as the film progresses, as we watch the black magician (whose name is revealed as Kang Cong!) perform his various spells (usually love spells for some poor schmucks that invariably go very, very wrong) obtaining blood or a personal item from his victims, which he uses to make potions to pour over his wax dolls or on the many dead, rotting corpses he keeps in the basement of his mansion. This is another weird and entertaining Shaw Brothers production, directed by demented genius Ho Meng-Hua (credited as 'Horace Mengwa' on the abortive English language prints), who also directed the original BLACK MAGIC (1975 which stars many of the same actors here, but in different roles), as well as THE OILY MANIAC (1976), THE MIGHTY PEKING MAN (1977 a.k.a. The two couples, the male members both being doctors, visit a hospital where the patients have strange skin ulcers, all said to have been caused by spells, especially the dreaded 'Green Venom Poison Spell', which causes lesions that look like human faces. They stop at a nightclub (a disco band plays a funky tune while a girl in a sequined bikini dances on-stage), where we watch an evil black magician (Lo Lieh THE STRANGER AND THE GUNFIGHTER - 1974) bring a beautiful woman back to his mansion, leads her into a secret room, strips her naked and then reveals that she has a giant spike embedded in the top of her skull! He slowly pulls the spike out with a pair of pliers and the beautiful girl rapidly turns into a decaying corpse. Something tells me that they're not going to like what they uncover.

We then switch to two professional city couples, who take a trip to 'a tropical city' to research spells and to discover if they have any validity in modern society.
The crocodile grabs the chicken and becomes hooked, as the witch doctor pulls it to shore and stabs it in the eyes, finishing the crocodile off by gutting it and pulling the contents out of it's stomach, which includes a tin can, a sandal and the unfortunate dead girl's bracelet, which he hands over to her family. An elderly white-haired witch doctor hangs a live chicken on a hook above the river and begins chanting.
