The premise
A Hong Kong taxi driver suffers after being cursed by a sorcerer he accidentally hit with his cab. After the driver's wife is raped and killed by teenage hooligans, he pleads with the sorcerer to lift the hex and restore his wife to the land of the living.
Horror Vault's take
From the grimy underbelly of Hong Kong Category III cinema comes this relentless supernatural revenge tale, in which a cursed taxi driver turns to a dark sorcerer after unimaginable violence destroys his family. What follows is a descent into black magic rituals and grotesque retribution that pushes far beyond the boundaries of conventional horror. Notorious for its extreme practical effects and willingness to go to deeply uncomfortable places, this 1983 Shaw Brothers-era shocker remains one of the most infamous entries in Hong Kong horror history.
