You know that I could not stay away, right? I just love weird, foreign films and actual good transfers of them. Today's film comes from Indonesia, a country that has brought us good films (Lady Terminator), great films (The Devil's Sword) and abominations (Virgins from Hell). Which one will this be? It is called...
This is actually directed by the same man who did Sword and another upcoming review. This seems like a good sign.

A young woman has a problem: she is having an affair with the big man in the village, but he won't commit. When she really presses the issue before his wedding, he accuses her of being a practitioner of black magic. They chase her out of town and stone her. Just to be dicks, they toss her off of a cliff. The End, right?

Wrong. As luck would have it, an actual practitioner of black magic catches her and heals her up. Now with a focus on revenge, she begins to get trained in the evil arts. She is a quick learner and begins to plan the course of her actions. The first step is to kill one of the villagers with attack bees. Nothing can distract her from her...ooh, a man.

Our heroine/villain is thrown off of her plans for a while when she runs into a 'hot guy' by the river. Despite her being a famous 'villain' in the area, the new guy knows absolutely nothing. He has showed up to make sure that no black magic is still being done in the area. This won't end awkwardly at all.*
The high points of the movie all revolve around the black magic. My favorite is still the spell she puts on her former beau. Using her powers, she forces him to walk into the center of town and rip his own head off. No, really. She then makes it fly around and attack people. When the good magicians try to stop it, it sets aflame. Can this get any better? No, that's pretty much it.

I don't really need to finish up my plot summary, do I? Once you've read that last paragraph, you have definitely decided whether or not to see it. Nothing else can supersede that. I really enjoyed this movie, even if there really is not all that much substance to it. Enjoy, people.

Do you like zombies and computer animation? I'll appease you weirdos. Stay tuned...
