BA_Harrison A hospital is full of patients suffering from mysterious and very icky ailments. A doctor believes that spells might be the cause and tries to convince his wife and colleagues, putting them all in danger from the black magician responsible.Black Magic 2 starts as it means to go on: in full-on bonkers mode, with a group of topless cuties taking a dip in a river only to be attacked by a unconvincing model crocodile that eats one of the girls. A white magician lures the reptile to its death and cuts it open. Cue the opening credits…The rest of the film is equally as insane, with plenty of those Hong Kong black magic movie staples, mucus, maggots and worms, plus zombies with metal spikes in their heads, potions made from burnt pubic hair, breast-milk drinking, and eye-ball eating. There's also a hilariously bad fight in and on a cable car (complete with really dreadful back projection), lots more gratuitous female nudity, and a fiery finale in the evil magician's home.It's by no means a great film—the plot is virtually non-existent—but Black Magic 2 dishes up more than enough weird nonsense to keep fans of cult oddities entertained.

MartinHafer You might be surprised by the "Black Magic" films, as they have no martial arts in them yet they were made by the famous Shaw Brothers' Studio. Instead they are gross films about the occult. However, despite the gross scenes, most of it is really pretty tame. What IS gross are the scenes where the octogenarian black magician is shown drinking human breast milk to stay youthful! Yuck! And, speaking of that, this and the previous film in the series both have a lot of nudity--so it's probably not a good film to watch with your mother.As for the first film (1975), it was a thoroughly stupid and low-budget film. While this one is also stupid and low-budget, it manages to work much better--with a more believable bad guy, better special effects and some really, really spooky scenes. It's still not an especially good film, but considering how bad the first one was, it could only improve!! Not worth seeking out unless you could use a laugh or have a bizarre fetish about breast milk.

dbborroughs I had heard that this film and its in name only prequel were suppose to be some of the best of the of the Hong Kong Horror films. I very much liked the first film in a goofy gory sort of way, while this one just didn't grab me. I mean that almost literally since after about the first five or ten minutes I became distracted, not a good sign, and began to do other things while this un-spooled.Certainly its better than many horror films from the period, but at the same time, its just not as good as its reputation suggests. I suggest you try it, its not bad, just not the be all and end all, but if possible have the first film with it as a double feature.7 out of 10.(I will try it again at some point simply because it maybe a case of being over-sold before going in.)

velladraco Hooo, Boy!!! I had to wait a bit for this one but it was, indeed, worth the wait. Being a fan of B and sub-B Movies does contribute to one's insanity...So please take that into consideration when I say that I loved this film.! Revenge of the Zombies could serve as a model for all that is good and right about the Hong-Kong film Machine. Plenty of campy acting, bad translation,bad dubbing, mediocre to awful special affects,and at least one wholey original twist on the Zombie bit. The next two lines may or may not qualify as a "spoiler"--depending on how picky you are. 70+ year old Black Mage has remained 'young looking'(he claims 30 - I say 45-50) by drinking human milk every day of his life - we later get an example of how he arranges this. The cool twist is that he controls the vitality of his zombies with a big metal spike in their heads!! I, personally do not consider this a spoiler as it is mentioned in the title (literal translation is "Bewitch Tame Head"). Go ahaed! Rent it! You know you want to! Better yet, make it a double feature with the sub-B Warehouse flick from Japan "EMERGENCY!!!-Living Dead in Tokyo Bay!!".This one's harder to find but worth the search if you like the cheapo warehouse -type movies.
