Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Brennan Dortch Cornelius Thunderbolt
   “Unsubbed and of rapidly deteriorating visual quality, this movie is still more fun than a barrel full of dead monkeys. An evil witch raises hell in the village neighboring the cave she calls home. She zombifies some folks, possesses others and even bites the penis off of one unfortunate horny husband. A poor woman gets a stick in the eye and is then tossed off a hill for reasons unknown to me, maggots get eaten, a beefy man becomes the witch’s evil lover, a couple warriors show up to help (one of them has a fart centric fighting technique), there’s a pocong, a man who transforms…”

   “I understood shit in this movie, but hey… there was a flying bat dude, a fart fighter, a witch and more crazy shit. I liked it and what more do I need.”

   “This was a lot of fun. Unsubbed, really blurry VCD print that I had to watch in a small window on my computer, but these are sacrifices that must be made. I won’t pretend to understand the plot, but there is certainly a lot of black magic. A lot of maggots, flying coffins, people riding on flying coffins, zombies, a giant dragon statue that breathes poison smoke, a guy that turns into a bat, a guy with a giant tongue that he attacks people with, and a martial-artist that farts to attack people, which is the low point of the film.”
