Set in Hong Kong, a woman buys a strange (and phalic) vase from a market auction and unwittingly releases a demon which possesses and kills her. Sensing the demonic presence in her body, a priest binds the spirit to her name stone with a warning not to touch it for 12 years. Of course just shy of 12 years later, the demon is released and possesses the woman's nephew, going on a murderous rampage among the family.
Where do I even begin? This movie is so crazy that when I watched it in a full theater at The 11th Annual Aero Theatre Horrorthon the entire room was in an uproar. People laughed and gasped and audibly responded to the insane amounts of gore that we presented on the screen. The subtitles, many of which seemed really poorly translated, added to the insanity in such hilarious ways that regardless of how much the content didn't make sense, it created a whole extra level of enjoyment. And it pulls every trick in the book to create it's strange world of visual insanity.
Be warned, this is not by any means a "good" film, but it is easily one of the most insanely enjoyable Horror films I've ever seen. It was so much fun, I couldn't believe that I hadn't seen it before. The entire time I kept thinking, that it was like someone took the plot of The Exorcist and then genetically altered it's DNA to bind it with Hausu and through it straight into a Hong Kong incubator, unleashing it upon the world before any of the kinks were worked out. And it completely worked! This is one of those movies that I will now likely unleash upon unsuspecting friends (probably after a couple of beers) just to watch their faces twist and contort with chaotic confusion. That' just how worth it this film is to watch. Unless, of course, you don't like to ever have any fun.
