7 bloody curses Traveling through Thailand, a young Hong Kong cop rescues a beautiful girl in the jungle of this mysterious country, which harbors many secrets, who was to become the victim of a monstrous ritual of local cannibals. In retaliation for the rescue of our hero, a local sorcerer imposed seven curses, and soon, with obvious regularity, they began to be implemented. The last, seventh, curse will be the end of a policeman's life, so it is necessary to remove the spell. But it was far from easy.
The film The Seventh Curse, filmed in 1986 by Hong Kong director Ngai Kai Lam, is an excellent representative of thrash cinema. The crazy plot, in which elements of the Kungfu action movie and thrash horror organically coexist with cannibals, zombie babies, walking skeletons and other evil spirits, makes an indelible impression when viewed. Direction in the film is at a good level, as for thrash, and special effects, although they look very naive in places, generally fit into the artistic structure of the picture. The work of the cameraman Chiu-Lam Koh, although it can not be called incompetent, but also originality it does not shine and does not stand out against the background of many other thrash films of Asian and Western production.
The acting in the film is not outstanding, but the characters created by Ken Boyle, Maggie Chun and Chow Young-Fat are charismatic and memorable.
Composer Stephen Sin wrote for the film an unusual and interesting soundtrack, perfectly fit into the structure of the picture.
I recommend this film to all fans of classic thrash, especially shot outside of Hollywood.
