10 Gruesome Movies To Watch With Your Girlfriend This Halloween

7. The Seventh Curse (1986)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cjLddsTHPA Dr Yuan, the Hong Kong equivalent of Bruce Wayne, is in Thailand when he becomes smitten with Betsy, in no small part due to her penchant for transparent blouses and skinny-dipping. Discovering she€™s about to be sacrificed in order to resurrect a creature known as Old Ancestor, Yuan saves the girl and halts the ceremony, much to the chagrin of its leader, a Marilyn Manson impersonator named Aqulala, who places him under €œblood curse.€ Back in Hong Kong, Yuan is cautioned to €œstay away from sex€ lest the curse take effect, which our hero of course ignores. Informed by a pipe-smoking colleague that he now has twenty-four hours until his heart bursts, Yuan returns to Thailand to have the curse lifted, in the process battling kung-fu monks and rubbery foetuses that tear out the throats of their victims. When the film€™s central antagonist creates €œBlood Devils€ using the bodies of small children crushed in a stone press, you know you€™re not in for subtlety, but it€™s all so outrageously cartoonish that it€™s hard not to be entertained. As in Riki Oh: Story of Ricky, director Ngai Kai Lam runs the gamut from outlandish fight sequences to over-the-top gore, the pedal-to-the-metal pace ensuring a major setpiece every few minutes.
