Reviews from Letterboxd:

  1. Jack Often★★★★★
    “The use of color is audacious, the practical gore effects are surreal, and it’s just a masterpiece of creative madness. Pure cult cinema.”
  2. Gentry★★★★½
    “A relentless psychedelic splatterfest with some of the most bizarre imagery I’ve ever seen. Easily one of the best Shaw Brothers horror films.”
  3. Michael Walsh★★★★
    “Every bit as weird and wild as its reputation suggests. Start to finish a bizarre film, full of creative practical effects and nightmare logic.”
  4. Milko★★★★
    “This film grossed me out in the best possible way. It’s gross, it’s weird, but it’s endlessly entertaining.”
  5. Jeremy N.★★★★
    “Less like a martial arts movie and more like a gooey nightmarish fever dream. Imagine Jodorowsky meets Fulci.”
