Nonureva Really Surprised!
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
PKazee A grave robber is chased onto the road and accidentally run over by taxi driver, Philip Ko Fei. Ko Fei gets out of the car to check on the man, but he has disappeared, only to reappear in Ko Fei's back seat. He tells Ko Fei that he is a Taoist wizard and he used black magic to save himself from death. He also tell's Ko Fei that he (Ko Fei) is now cursed to a life of misfortune for having crossing paths with him. Sure enough, we soon discover that Ko Fei's wife is having an affair with the married Norman Chu. Roughly 20 minutes of unspectacular nude romping leads up to Chu refusing her offer of the both of them leaving their spouses for one another. She gets angry and jumps out of the car, but not before the pair have an ugly encounter with a couple of cocky young men in a red sports car. Both cars leave, and the woman then makes her way to a phone booth, where she calls her hubby's taxi dispatcher to ask that they send Ko Fei over immediately to fetch her. Before he gets there, however, the guys in the red sports car return. They abduct her and take her to an abandoned mansion, where one of them rapes her and knocks her about a bit, accidentally causing her to fall over a balcony ledge to her death. Upon arriving at the phone booth, Ko Fei receives another call from the taxi dispatcher informing him that his wife is now at the mansion, a message that seems rather curious, given that nobody at the mansion had access to a phone, and – in fact – when questioned later, the dispatcher says she made no such call to Ko Fei. Ko Fei then seeks out the Taoist wizard for help and THAT is when the film really begins to get good. It takes a LONG time to get to this point (maybe 40 minutes), but everything from this point on is great fun involving a reanimated corpse with a need to be "seeded", the demonic possession of Norman Chu's wife, and the bloody, explosive birth of the corpse's revenge-seeking evil seed!
Condom-full-of-Hatred I have been a bold boy over the last few months and been neglecting the sleazier side of my viewing needs. It's swings and roundabouts for me in terms of what I watch, some months I will watch nothing but exploitation and 70's porn, then for the next 6 months it will be a straight up horror binge. There just isn't enough hours in the day to watch all the crap I wanna watch, but sometimes I just need a good gore and rape fix. Hey, it beats having to go down to the local park with a tyre iron to look for a victim...A good buddy of mine gave me a stack of Shaw Brothers flicks a few months ago. And after watching Seeding of a Ghost, I'm kicking myself for not jumping into these before. I can say with my hand on my sick little heart, that this is probably the most fun I have had watching a film in a long time.Philip Ko Fei is a taxi driver who happens to save a black magic sorcerer from an angry mob one dark night. The taxi driver's wife is a blackjack dealing cutie bored with her married life. She starts receiving the attention of a rich business man at the table and eventually starts having an affair with him. Soon this affair turns a tad foul, and she finds herself out on a lonely street late one night. Unlucky for her, she gets terrorized by two scumbags and they try raping her in an old building, but she takes a dive off the roof and meets a splatty end on the pavement.The taxi driver swears revenge on those who messed with her, so what does he do? He tracks down the black magic guy from the opening scene, and gets him in on the act. The sorcerer digs up her rotted corpse and summons her ghost. They then start playing pranks of the ghostly and murderous kind on her enemies, and it leads to a finale that has to be seen to be believed! Seeding is a definite slow burner. It does take about 50 minutes before things start going truly crazy, but even up to this point, the film is highly entertaining. You get plenty of nudity for one thing. There are slow motion topless jogging scenes, crash zooms and close ups of hairy groins, close ups of even hairier arm pits, and plenty of punch ups and random acts of violence and insanity to keep you going. We even get a cool sex scene between the corpse and a spirit! Fun times, my friends.The climax is where this one really takes off though. Taste gets chucked out the window with the exploding pregnant women and tentacled monsters. There is enough offensive sh!t here to keep most laughing. I have The Boxers Omen and Bewitched up next to watch, and I can't wait. Check this one out with a few brews, a blast and a boner is guaranteed.
squeezebox This cab driver hits a man running across the road who turns out to be a warlock who was being chased by an angry mob for robbing graves who then suddenly appears in the cabbie's back seat and then informs him that since their paths have crossed the cabbie's luck will change for the worse which turns out to be pretty prophetic because his wife first cheats on him then is raped and murdered by two thugs which so enrages him that he looks up the warlock to put a curse on the men responsible (not to mention the guy who she was screwing) so together they dig up her body and cast the spell which leads to one of the thugs puking worms and causes his toilet to explode and the boyfriend to be sodomized by his possessed wife with a giant matchstick and the second thug to have his spine grow out of his body and then causes the boyfriend's wife to become pregnant with a monster that explodes out of her at a party and proceeds to rip her doctor's face off and eat the guests. THE END. A must see.
dbborroughs First off this film is pure exploitation. This is sex and violence and really gross, even by todays standards. Its not the best film ever made, but if you want gore and worms and gross things with your beautiful naked women this is for you. This film belongs in the exploitation hall of fame.A very bare bones explanation of the plot has a beautiful woman having an affair because she is bored with her husband of a couple of months. She wants to run off with her lover, who is also married, but he won't go. Getting out of her car on a lonely stretch of road she finds a phone and calls her husband who's cab driver. While she is waiting she is raped and killed by two guys. The husband uses the services of a black magician he once saved to get revenge on the killers and the lover. Its gross fun from that point on.The sex is early on as we see the very beautiful wife naked in the shower and having sex with her lover. Proving that this is exploitation at its finest we have a slow motion topless jog along the beach.This film has a reputation for being gross out royalty and its nice to report that this certainly is the case. This is a film that will have you going "yuck" quite often. Done before CGI this film is helped by knowing that what you see is what you get, people really are spiting up insects and such.The problem for me was that it seems oddly paced. Don't get me wrong the plot moves, but at times it seems a bit talky, which is odd since what you see is what you need to see and hear.See this film.I rated it as a 7 out of 10, but thats for most people who want to see a gross out horror film from overseas. For hardcore exploitation film fans or those who love gross effects this is a classic and should be 10 out of 10.
