Golden Harvest was one of Hong Kong’s biggest and most prolific producers of big-budget genre films, with titles ranging from martial arts adventures to grisly horror and thrillers. Presented here are a set of genre-defying and genre-blending classics that skillfully intertwine horror, action, fantasy, and generally jaw-dropping weirdness.
Dr. Yuan is a world-famous adventurer whose exploits have found him playing everything from hostage negotiator to exploring the most offbeat corners of the globe. While in the jungles of Thailand, Dr. Yuan rescues a young woman from a bloodthirsty supernatural sect named the "Worm Tribe," as they attempt to sacrifice her to their ancient evil deity. After a Worm Tribe elder forces the doctor to swallow a handful of bullets, Dr. Yuan becomes afflicted by the “seven blood curses,” which cause the bullets to burst from his body. Determined to find a cure before the seventh and final curse takes his life, Dr. Yuan returns to the jungle, where he must defeat the Worm Tribe and other unexpected supernatural obstacles.
An off-the-wall blending of action, adventure, and insane supernatural horror, Lam Ngai Kai’s (Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky) THE SEVENTH CURSE offers enough mind-boggling mayhem to satisfy even the most jaded genre film fan’s appetite, from thrilling action sequences, plentiful practical creature effects, and all the over-the-top blood and violence perfected by Cat III cinema. Featuring memorable performances by Hong Kong film legends Chin Siu-Ho (Fist of Legend), Chow Yun-fat (Hard Boiled), and Maggie Cheung (Hero), THE SEVENTH CURSE makes its US Blu-ray debut newly restored and fully uncut.
Joe and his girlfriend travel to Nepal to escape their busy lives. However, their vacation takes an unwelcome turn when Joe is injured while on safari and goes missing. Once found, he is brought to a hospital where a mysterious woman tells him that he's been chosen to be the leader of a mystical tribe in order to fight against an evil sorcerer. Upon returning to Hong Kong, Joe tries to forget about his ordeal. However, the mysterious woman tracks him down, and the two soon fall madly in love. Unfortunately, the sorcerer is also in Hong Kong searching for the mysterious woman, and Joe soon finds himself embroiled in a savage fight between good and evil.
Starring international superstar Chow Yun-fat (The Killer), WITCH FROM NEPAL is a thrilling Hong Kong actioner fused with fantasy and supernatural horror. Directed by action choreographer Ching Siu-Tang (A Chinese Ghost Story) and culminating with an impressive final showdown that defies both time and space, this genre-bending oddity finally comes to US Blu-ray, newly restored and completely uncut.

"Excellent collection of HK horror movies! The Seventh Curse is the better of the two. The movie gets crazier and crazier as it goes. The Witch From Nepal is slower but still fun. Both are an excellent reminder as to why HK cinema was so exciting during the golden period."
"An amazing gonzo, over the top, tremendously exciting, imaginative and entertainingly balls to the wall kung fu horror film. One of the best of the Wisely Cycle of films. Director Lam Ngai Kai is my new hero filmmaker. He should be more recognized in the international genre film scene. I am just realizing how many of his films I had enjoyed over the years. This new remaster looks amazing! I haven't watched Witch From Nepal yet but really looking forward to it."
"The Seventh Curse is such a blast! definitely my favorite out of the two, practical effects, mayhem, ghost, baby monsters are all huge wins. Witch From Nepal was so fun! and Im so excited to dive into the bonus features."
"This new transfer looks absolutely great and is a big upgrade compared to previous releases. As for the movies themselves, those are two very good supernatural from Hong Kong. If you know the genre, you know you can expect mayhem, wackiness, and over the top situations, and you can be sure that those two will deliver just that. The Seventh Curse would be my favorite. For it alone the purchase would be more than worth it. Ngai Choi Lam is a great director, and if you liked any of his other movies and haven’t seen this one yet, don’t hesitate and pick this one up immediately."
"The Seventh Curse Rules!!! Loved this pair of releases. Solid extras"
"Seventh Curse is clearly the better paced and fun film, but I had a blast with both of these. Combines all the best parts of Hong Kong action and the mysticism and magic of Indiana Jones."
"Beautiful copies of both of these movies! The Seventh Curse is, no question, the best of the two movies but I think Witch from Nepal is also great. I think people's issue with it is that they watch it after TSC and are let down. Start with Witch and you'll enjoy it more. There's a reason we have a saying in my movie club: "You don't follow Lam Ngai Kai". Cover art also isn't my favorite but that's nitpicking."
"The Seventh Curse is a flawless film, watch it with someone you love tonight. Insane action, fx, pace, etc - ruthlessly entertaining. Haven't watched Witch yet because I'm still too floored by Curse, this release is worth it for that one alone"
"Always a huge plus when multiple cuts of a film are included and this double-feature is no exception. Anything with Maggie Cheung is an inna-buy regardless!"
"High quality transfer for an older movie! Excellent cover art and slip case. The hand painted aesthetic of the covers and inserts is really done well. Looks amazing! A suggestion would be to include a digital copy in their app similar to A24 but A24 is more like a streaming service with some physical releases so their company structure appears different. The rewards program is fun and generous. I'll keep supporting VS and am excited about their future releases."
