Black Magic 2
"You Take Care of Things Here I'M Going to catch you live show"
One year after the "Black Magic" once again visit the modern, bustling,
Hong Kong, meaner and less ironic than the previous visit.
If the number one, "Black Magic", was almost a comedy centered on love
potions, here, it turns more on horror and zombies. The parallels
between modern and old doesn’t change, but mute protagonists
putting this time the science versus the traditions.
Strange patients flock to the hospital where Dr. Zhensheng and his wife
work. They are incurably ill, and festering rotting. Concerned about,
the two call another couple of friends doctors too. Incredulous and
skeptical, the four slowly discover the truth of a holy man who leads
an army of zombies. The peculiar thing is that this man works a little
'please, a little for power, but especially for money. He has a
prostitution business and proposes not bad zombie reanimated and
rejuvenate by his centuries-old tricks. Create a zombie then, it seems
easy, you only have toput a nail in the skull and it will be on or off
Returning to our four protagonists, they are forced to lose the
security of their science knowledge and known the fantasy of black
magic, facing incredible struggle including a funicular clearly fake
glued on a scenic backdrop.
More horror and splatter of the previous, "Black Magic 2" always
directed by Meng Hua Ho is a good and fun Asian horror with special
effects that lack credibility and the more classical impossible
solutions. Not bad, as usual, the soundtrack, while for the cast Meng
Hua Ho and Ti Lung Shaw are linked to the usually more reliable and
loyal actors.
