| This was one of the first Asian horror movies to be widely released on video in the US. Its crazy special effects and wild gore sequences were unique at the time and are still eye-opening today.
The story is set in the exotic countryside of far-off Indonesia. A wedding ceremony goes dreadfully wrong and the groom suspects black magic. He seeks out the woman he believes is responsible and she is hurled to her death over a high cliff.
She is rescued from the dark jungle by a strange hermit. He tells her that she must seek revenge. They accused her of black magic--now she must learn to use that magic against them and become Queen of Evil.
"The Queen Of Black Magic" was one of the first Asian horror movies to reach western audiences. It set a pattern for crazy special effects and wild gore sequences that has rarely been equalled and is still fondly remembered today.
The film is the ultimate in female revenge sagas. A wronged woman is forced to learn the ancient black arts in order to right the wrongs done to her and her family. The pace literally never lets up and the film is a rip roaring, action filled chiller from beginning to end.
A great title that is sure to please both old school horror fans and new devotees of Asian cinema madness, this is a real cult classic.
