The Holy Virgin Versus The Evil Dead: Quick Takes

So...yea...that pretty much sucked, considering the terrific title. You would also expect a more high energy supernatural extravaganza but director Wong Chun-Yeung ("Dreaming The Reality") opts mainly for martial arts and gunplay instead, something that could've proven to be worthwhile if it wasn't for the hideous undercranking (no doubt courtesy of Donnie Yen).

This Cat III rated effort will definitely only be sought out by the crowd liking and expecting a b-movie anyway so are there any positives in it for them? Albeit in sporadic bursts, the answer would be yes and on top of a good amount of gratuitous nudity (highlight being a dolly shot shot during the finale), the supernatural hijinxs and bloodletting that is on the display will please for the moment. Although in all honesty, that's reaching very deep in terms of pro's. Starring Donnie Yen, Ken Lo, Ben Lam, Pauline Yeung, Sibelle Hu and in an early role, the lovely Kathy Chow ("Beast Cops").
