Black Magic1975
“Those who did not believe in the voodoo curse never lived to tell!”
Directed by Ho Meng-Hua
The premise
A magician makes money by charging people to cast love spells on the objects of their affection. Complications arise when he decides that he wants a customer's bride for himself.
Horror Vault's take
In this Shaw Brothers cult shocker, a mercenary sorcerer peddles forbidden love spells to desperate clients — until his own appetites lead him to covet what belongs to another. What begins as a tale of supernatural commerce curdles into something far darker as the magician turns his arts toward personal gain. Rooted in Southeast Asian folk magic traditions, the film layers genuine unease beneath its exploitation trappings. Fans of outré 1970s horror will find it equal parts fascinating and deeply unsettling.
