Black Magic (1974)

Synopsis of Black Magic

Produced by the legendary chop-socky maestros Sir Run Run Shaw and Tan Sri Runme Shaw (better known as The Shaw Brothers), the martial arts / horror cross-pollinate Black Magic (1975) grabs the audience by the throat and refuses to let go. The story opens with newlyweds Hsu Lo (Ti Lung) and Wang Chu-ying (Lily Li) relentlessly tormented by widow Lo Yin (Tanny Tien Ni), who has sexual designs on Hsu and draws on the power of a necromancer to entrance the young bridegroom. But the Necromancer defies Lo's orders and enacts a wicked scheme of his own designs, which brings everyone to a gruesome end and then erupts into an apocalyptic battle between sorcerers, where light and darkness go to head-to-head. Lo Lieh co-stars; Ho Meng-Hua (Shaolin Handlock) directs. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
