Shaw-Shock is back with Volume Three, with the three gruesome, gooey, ghostly entries in The Hex Trilogy from director Kuei Chih-Hung:
Hex (1980)
Hex Versus Witchcraft (1980)
Hex After Hex (1982)
These 80s revenge horror-comedies are brimming with gore, sex, and slapstick humour, which places them amongst some of the most unique genre-blending entries in the Shaw Brothers catalogue. If you love over-the-top sound effects, gauche comedy, and characters breaking the fourth wall, then this is the trilogy for you.
Brought together on Blu-ray in a Limited Edition 3-disc Hardbox, strictly limited to 1500 copies only.
Constantly mistreated by her cruel husband, the frail Chan Sau-ying awaits certain death from tuberculosis. The new servant girl, Yi-wah, takes pity on the plight of her mistress, and the pair proceed to drown him one evening. They dump his body in a nearby pond, but Sau-ying believes that the man’s bloated corpse has risen from the bog to seek vengeance.
