Best of the Best
"Absolutely dynamite two-pack from VS. The Seventh Curse may just be my favorite Hong Kong horror movie and while Witch from Nepal is considerably weaker, it finishes strong. A great release, must-own for The Seventh Curse alone."

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.

"Absolutely dynamite two-pack from VS. The Seventh Curse may just be my favorite Hong Kong horror movie and while Witch from Nepal is considerably weaker, it finishes strong. A great release, must-own for The Seventh Curse alone."
"This set was my first entry into a CATIII movie, with The Seventh Curse, and it didn't disappoint. The Seventh Curse was fun all around. Loved the mix of action sequences and horror elements. The story was pretty good, and I thoroughly enjoyed all of the weird and unexpected moments. I give this movie alone a 4/5. The Witch From Nepal was also a pleasant surprise, mostly because I heard that it was pretty bad, but it turned out to still be a fun watch for me. Some scenes kind of reminded me of what you'd see in an anime. The pacing was a bit slow, but the mix of different genres was interesting to see. Not a lot of action on this one, but when it shows up, it's actually pretty good. I give this one a 3/5. I also enjoyed the extras and the essays that give insight into the Wisely series that inspired the Seventh Curse and other movies."
"A double bill from vinegar syndrome. Nice slipcover. . I haven’t checked it out yet, but but I love Asian cinema and Monster FX."
"Indiana Jones with horror elements (monsters), kung fu, gore, nudity, and all the Hong Kong insanity you'd expect to see. Tons of fun and a great bonus feature to toss in with any Shaw collection or Hong Kong horror that you may have already on your shelf. Looks amazing and I'm looking forward to the second feature, but Seventh Curse is worth a pick up alone."
"This is so fun. Goopy special effects, great action, hilariously over the top, a genuinely fun story and well acted. The Seventh Curse is like if Sam Raimi directed an R Rated Indiana Jones for Golden Harvest. An all timer for those who love the “these HK movies sure are crazy” variety, 5/5 Witch of Nepal on its own is solid but really pales when put up against Seventh Curse. But is worth a watch and a 3/5 for me. I got the hard slip and it’s just okay art wise but the included book is GREAT and looks very cool."
"This is a FUN movie from the director of Riki-Oh. While Whitch from Nepal is fun too, The Seventh Curse is the crown jewel of this double feature. Great slip, entertaining flicks"
"This is an awesome collection of action fantasy horror from one of the best to ever come out of Hong Kong action. I love when VS releases stuff like this because it spreads the word and gives an education on movies made outside the US"
"Two 1986 Hong Kong genre films that have absolutely no business being this entertaining, now making their US Blu-ray debut in a two-disc set. The Seventh Curse alone packs Chow Yun-fat, Maggie Cheung, blood curses, and practical creature effects into 88 minutes like a clown car of inspired chaos. Witch From Nepal is the quieter of the two, but this is an essential double feature regardless."
"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."
