Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. c h r i s 💘 – ★★★★★ “Corpse Mania —what a title— is drenched in gothic atmosphere, smoke-covered streets, as are the female corpses infested with maggots and worms—a cringe-inducing sight.”
2. WraithApe – ★★★☆☆ “I’m not going to say I was disappointed, as I did enjoy it a fair bit but for a film called Corpse Mania, it’s surprisingly restrained.”
3. Liz – ★★★★☆ “Was expecting this to be a supernatural horror movie along the lines of the Black Magic or Hex films, but it’s actually a gross necrophilia-themed serial killer film that somehow morphs into a near-perfect Blood and Black Lace riff around the midway point?”
4. P3n-E-W1s3 – ★★★★☆ “Greetings And Salutations, and welcome to my review of Corpse Mania; here’s the breakdown of my ratings: Story: 1.50 Direction: 1.25 Pace: 1.25 Acting: 1.25 Enjoyment: 1.25 TOTAL: 6.50 out of 10”
5. BA_Harrison – ★★★☆☆ “CORPSE MANIA (1981, original title Shi yao) is a rare Asian attempt at a giallo, although it starts off as something entirely else.”
