Stolen jade and a broken heart are the catalysts for two different men to be hit with the same curse by a powerful Burmese wizard. Sau Au Yeung is a young doctor in Hong Kong whose caring nature has him taking care of a battlefield reporter suffering from a painful and worm-filled bleeding wound on his leg. He comes to find that his father is cursed with the same affliction and tries getting to the bottom of it before his dad and his patient are claimed by said curse. Luckily, a Taoist priest and friend of the family may be able to help but failure could lead to a painful death. It’s a bit jumbled and not as much fun as many of the other HK horrors of the time but it’s still pretty damn rich in entertainment. There’s stock footage, bloody worms, eaten creepy crawlies, and a pretty damn cool magic attack. Odd and goofy enough to be worth your time.
