This is one of the weirder Shaw Brothers studio films I've seen. The story concerns this family that has a dark past involving 13 people ending up dead. It's presented as a possible ghostly haunted house situation but becomes more bizarre as the film progresses. There are bitey, man-eating frogs(that roar like Godzilla), a rapey snake-man monster and a rapey regular guy that uses hypnotism to trick his victims. Decapitations, flesh-chomping, animal entrails and quite a bit of other gross gore are on display. It starts out a bit slow with all the family drama but more than makes up for it by the end. Now I just need to replace my shitty bootleg version of this so I can watch it without all the glitchy freezes.
Hungry killer frogs attack!:
Wow, that was some freaky frogs after that woman. Not sure why they bothered tieing her up to the bed in the ripped clothes. She had no chance anyway you look at it.
ReplyDeleteShe was freaking out in an earlier scene so they did that to calm her down. Not a lot of the movie makes much sense but it is wacky!
DeleteLooks like it.I'll try to track down a viewable copy. Thanks for the review!
