Devil's Fetus is certainly one of the weirdest films that I have had the pleasure to watch.

The story is very strange, I still cannot figure it out out fully. The film starts with a public sell in which a young lady obtains a desired product which is some sort of a lamp. Later, she arrives at her home, and starts enjoying herself with that lamp, then a very strange demon f**ks her before her boyfriend comes and later discovers that his girlfriend's dark side, then the demon disappears and the boyfriend breaks the lamp and gets hurt, and then they both die heh. This description is just the first five minutes from this obscure little film. It becomes much nastier, crazier and odder later on.

At certain moments this flick can be similar to a supernatural kung fu flick, however , this film combines no fights, just wacky supernatural incidents like those of the Evil Dead.

Devil's Fetus contains gore, nudity, supernatural content and ghosts, demons that rape young girls, crazy religious people and so on.

I can recommend it to fans of supernatural horror movies and fans of Asian cinema. Recommended 7/10

After buying a strange vase at an auction, a woman finds a strange demonic being inside and quickly gets the being out of the house, but years later when her sons accidentally release the creature again they turn to a Taoist priest and his teachings to get the demon under control.

Generally, this one is a pretty straightforward offering. This wastes no time at getting to the point of the film, which is unleashing wild and over-the-top moments every chance possible. The opening arrival of the demon and his seduction of the wife where her husband arrives and attempts to interfere only to be turned into a hideous worm-faced figure who then kills himself by jumping out a nearby window in the matter of a few minutes allows for a taste of what's on display throughout here. With later scenes featuring a flying cat knocking a person off a balcony ledge and a funeral being interrupted by the sight of a woman's belly swelling up and about to erupt into a giant pulsating fetus, there's a strong start to a fantastic series of gross-out attacks. With a birthday cake filled with worms, disemboweling a dog to eat its uncooked remains and scenes of the possessed family member playing with the body of a victim all giving this a series of shocking and somewhat obvious sense that something's going on, there's a great foundation for the crazier action here. With a standout wizard battle that's become the norm for these movies, attacks by levitating furniture and teleporting bodies flying around the room, the film packs in plenty of fun action just as much as the over-the-top elements. Still, even with the wildness out of the way, there's more to like here. The idea of incorporating elements from outside the usual sphere of influence for these kinds of films adds hints of class that shouldn't be here in a sleazy gore-fest like this, such as the rather impressive suspenseful camerawork featured here for some of the attacks by the possessed individuals. A night-time stroll through the courtyard of the family house showing the spirit floating along waiting for the opportunity to strike is quite creepy, much like the use of the dog's point-of-view walking through the house into the bedroom before attacking the girlfriend. Also quite impressive is a nighttime drive home from the hospital which includes the car coming under attack by supernatural means as the lights go out and are afflicted with a supernatural storm before meeting an unexpected end with a possessed body, making this quite enjoyable in that sense when it tries. As well, this one goes overboard with the pacing and tempo here, featuring these frantic scenes and ideas at such a frantic pace that there's little stopping this one once it gets going which takes place incredibly early. The boundless energy and momentum this carries is infectious at a point, making for such a wholly engrossing effort with plenty to like about it. That said, there are some issues here. The most obvious flaw is a chaotic and discordant storyline that fails spectacularly at making cohesive sense. Very rarely does anything happen within rational means, as the impetus for how the demon is trapped inside the vase to start with or how the creature's release affects the family once it's been released, which are important parts of the initial setup to get into the story. That this just bounds from one scene to the other with little regard to how anything makes sense, ranging from how the possession travels from animal to person and how the basic idea of the actions presented doesn't cause any concern in the family to leave the house quicker. How they end up defeating the demon makes no sense and the general idea of figuring out we're even in the future after the initial attack has to be inferred making for a truly confusing mess of a storyline. Lastly, it's hard to overlook the abysmal special effects work, utilizing hand-drawn animation for laser beams and energy weapons that resemble third-tier video-game work and the wizard battle is so laughably filled with wire-work, frame-skipping and immobile puppets that all look out-of-date the moment they were filmed. Combined, these elements are enough to hold it down.

Rated Unrated/NC-17: Extreme Graphic Violence, Language, Nudity, a sex scene, violence against animals and themes of necrophilia.

Coming across as a manic and unholy mix of 'The exorcist', 'Amityville horror', 'Plan 9 from outer space', 'Evil dead', 'Poltergeist', 'War of the gargantuas' and Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' video with a single-digit budget, this brilliant and idiotic Hong Kong flick keeps the freak-outs coming fast and furious throughout. Acting is non-existent and the, uh..."minimal" plot apparently exists only to provide a framework in which to present gratuitous scenes of worm-vomiting, demonic possession, decapitation and nubile starlets making congress with giant, grunting, slimey green Sasquatch-looking monsters. Generally pointless film features some of the worst special effects ever seen but is never less than massively entertaining-- by no means miss the opportunity to catch this on a big screen, as I was fortunate enough to last night!

Hong Kong horror from the eighties but as cheesy as it can get. And due being cheesy and having laughable conversations it became a cult classic and it shows because it's becoming really hard to get this flick. It was available in Cantonese language with English subs on DVD but it vanished the earth and it rather goes for a lot of money when it pops up on the internet.

But it's worth the hunt if you can dig cheesy horror. The effects were indeed laughable and were done in stop motion or the use of green and purple lighting or with editing but you will keep watching it and it never becomes boring. I can't even say that it is a supernatural flick or a ghost story because it has elements of all kind of genres from the world of horror.

Of course it's famous for a few scene's, the eating of the intestines of a dog aren't for the squeamish and there's also some bit of animal cruelty with an eagle.

It starts rather good with the vase giving one's man a curse that makes his face immediately change into a face full of maggots and puss. From there on it takes a while before things go wrong but once the possession is in the house you will have some fun while watching it. And you must be prepared for some effects. Seeing is believing. I also liked the wizard or priest having his fight against the possessed body. It starts so nice and turns into the cheesiest moments of Mo Tai or Devil Fetus.

There's no nudity to spot maybe some will say the raping at the beginning contains nudity but nothing is shown. There's not that much of blood but the animal cruelty and the scene with the walls will deliver for the gorehounds. A must see and I admit that I never heard of this flick until a week or two ago, shame on me.

This movie would have been better without the actual dead German Shepherd. Did they kill the dog for the movie, or did they just happen to have one? It's not a fake prop, it's just sad.

There is a great scene with the monk trying to exorcize the demon.
