🕯️ The film

Ben, a Chinese man living in Thailand, steals the preserved brain of an ancient mummy, a supernatural relic able to grant wishes. When he fails to keep his promise to destroy it, a nightmare of black magic, possession and gruesome deaths is unleashed.

Directed by Hong Kong cult actor Lo Lieh and starring two Shaw Brothers icons, Chen Kuan-Tai and Candice Yu, this lost horror film resurfaces 43 years later, restored in 4K and with a cut never seen before.

ℹ️ Good to know: horror cinema with strong scenes, not suitable for children.

✨ A gem of Asian horror, back on the big screen.
