Donnie Yen is probably the most underrated martial arts star of the nineties. Without him, this movie would be nothing more than a Hong Kong snuff film with mediocre special effects and dozens of naked women...not that a movie like THAT couldn't stand on its own merits.

The movie begins with what looks like a beach party with a teacher and a half dozen of his female students. Paradise? Yes, until a cranky demigod rises from the earth and kills every girl there. It is the ancient Chinese god of misogyny.

The teacher, Donnie Yen, is the prime suspect in their dismemberments. Much of the movie is his search for clues as to the identity of the real killer.

I won't say much more except that the movie switches venue to Cambodia and then turns completely from horror to action movie. How many naked Cambodian women can you have in a scene before it begins to look gratuitous?

Apparently more than twenty...

The plot for Holy Virgin vs. The Evil Dead is scrappy, to say the least, but that doesn't stop the film from being hugely entertaining: it's 90 minutes of pure Hong Kong craziness, chock full of impressive martial arts, gunplay, sword fights, and, providing you opt for the 'unclothed' version (and why wouldn't you?), loads and loads of Asian babes in the altogether. Who cares if it doesn't make much sense?

The always great Donnie Yen plays Professor Shiang, who is suspected of murder when his pretty students are massacred by 'The Moon Monster' (Lo Wai-Kwong), a tough-to-kill demon wearing a trench coat and distressed jeans ('cos moon monsters like to dress snappy too!). Eventually cleared of wrongdoing, Shiang travels to Cambodia with Sgt. Chen Yu (Ben Lam), his ex-wife Shamen (Hei Man Chui), and another cop, where they team up with Princess White (Pauline Yeung) to try and defeat the moon monster.

Don't try too hard to make sense of proceedings... your brain will hurt; just sit back and enjoy the lunacy, which sees the moon monster tearing off the tops of all of his female victims, Princess White brandishing a 'laser whip' and firing exploding arrows, The Moon Monster yanking out people's internal organs, Yen performing some great acrobatics and kicks, and dozens of women taking off all of their clothes.

Basically that...

What a trip... I'm not conversant on these particular types of films. About the only one that comes to mind that I've seen that sort of reminds me of it is 'HIRUKO THE GOBLIN', but maybe not quite as Fantastical as that. There are some entertaining fight scenes where the choreography isn't too bad. There are indeed some beautiful Asian ladies here, and sorry to be such a 'Guy', but they certainly can be quite lovely.

I mean, it's clearly NOT a super well made film by any definition, but after perhaps fast forwarding a few times in the beginning, a bit later I must admit that it did start to become a bit mesmerizing in some ways.

I can't seriously recommend this as a 'Good' movie, but if you do like this kind of thing and enjoy some fairly decent fighting action (with, granted, some pretty dodgy wire work) then, hey, if you don't have a hell of a lot of better things to do, you might find some entertainment value in this one. I would recommend, though, DEFINITELY try to throw down a few beers (at least) while watching this, it certainly can't hurt...

A teacher and his five female students are attacked by a monster with neon-green eyes.The teacher escapes but his students are completely dismembered.He soon discovers the monster is worshipped by a cult whose ambition is to rule the world and tear the clothes off young girls."The Holy Virgin Vs The Evil Dead" is a campy soft porn/horror flick that mixes martial arts with shocks and sleaze.The final bit which shows dozens of nude young women in the village is amazing.The film is action-packed and filled with excellently choreographed martial arts fight sequences.There is also a nice amount of violence,so fans of crazy Hong Kong cinema will be pleased.Overall,this lovely Category III flick delivers the goods.Check it out.7 out of 10.

i got hold of this classic from a friend and set down to watch it expecting some kinda cheesey porn with no storyline, terrible acting and an appauling script. But what i got suprised me, the script was really good and one of the best fantasy martial arts storys i've ever seen, granted this isn't a lot but the story kept my attention and i pleasantly pleased. the acting wasn't fantastic but it was a lot better than you see in most films. the nudity wasnt iver used although at times it was VERY pointless an example is one of the most amusing and confusing tracking shots that i know, about 200 naked women standing around taking there clothes off for no reason.

The story is simple and brilliant and explains itself perfectly as the movie develops to let the audience learn more and more. The Moon monster kills and rapes several female students and injures their teacher, he gets out on bail and tries to hunt down the moon monster, this leads to a load of different plot turns and developments and telling them here may spoil the enjoyment for you. a very enjoyable movie that everybody should try and hunt down and watch and enjoy. 8/10 top job
