Devil Fetus
The film opens with a girl who buys a statue in an auction, from where at night a monster gets out of, and it does exactly what monsters out of statues usually do: it rapes the girl. At this time you think that the girl will produce an offspring that jumps out of her womb and kills various people in many gory ways, right? Wrong! The confusing story deals with possessed people, dogs and furniture, who attack various people and try to finish them off.
Such as a man who rips the decayed flesh on his face away and reveals crawling and writhing worms underneath. A girl who vomits live worms. A nice dog who is possessed and attacks a man, and in the fierce struggle gets killed with a sword. Later, he (the dog) is eviscerated and another possessed guy munches on his guts in best Italian cannibal movie fashion. A big bird is killed by cutting its throat. The absolute highlight: a man is trapped in a small room, when suddenly the walls are closing in on him. Its nice that one side has a glass window, so you can witness the slow crushing of his head in wonderfully gory fashion! And then there is the showdown where the monster appears out of a possessed man (it rips his skin away), gets decapitated, but a few heads grow instead of the old one, and all of em are decapitated too. The last shot is one of the most wonderful in Hongkong horror cinema history, with a severed head - after attacking a woman - being killed with a sword and then the head starts to decay before our very eyes via stop-motion! This effect looks cheap and phony, but is very inventive and incredibly charming (think of the stop motion scenes in THE EVIL DEAD (1982) and BASKET CASE (1982), and you get the idea). Well done, folks! Give me more of this! With scenes like that, who cares if the movie makes any sense (which it doesnt)? Certainly not me!
