The Holy Virgin Versus the Evil Dead (1991)

Undescribable Perfection

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Holy Virgin vs. the Evil Dead (1991) While having a picnic, a teacher and his female students are attacked by a flying, raping murderer with glowing green eyes who slaughters the students. 'Ole teach (Donnie Yen) manages to escape, but he is then arrested for the murders as no one believes his story. We soon come to discover that the killer is known as the Moon Monster (the moon turns red whenever he appears) and he's looking for the right girl to rape so that he can gain control over the world. Teach gets out on bail, and along with his estranged wife, brother and the cop who's doing his wife, goes out to hunt down the Moon Monster. Their search takes them to Cambodia where the High Wind Tribe has been haunted by the Moon Monster for over 1000 years and they understandably wanna kill his @ss too. The leader of the tribe gives his daughter, Princess White a magical sword which can kill the monster and she sets about trying to get it done. Eventually Princess White joins forces with the cop, teach, bro & wife team and they manage to kill the Moon Monster by stabbing him in the head with the magical sword, causing his head to expand and then his body to explode into blue light, thus ending his reign of terror.This Cat III entry is a lotta fun: there's enough gore, nudity, kung fu, flying and 80's looking special effects to keep any trash fiend entertained. 7/10

(Let me save you time and cut to the chase: Look at the title, if it interests you at all then there is no point reading the review, go find the movie and watch it. If the title doesn't interest you then no matter what I say is going to change your mind go find another movie to watch)This movie is a blast. Its an over the top martial arts horror mixture thats got great fights, monsters, gore, nudity and everything you go to the drive in for, even if its only your living room.The plot has something to do with the return of the" moon monster" who is trying to find the right girl to rape to get his power back. Along the way he kills a good number of people, is temporarily killed himself, and has to contend with the police, a teacher suspected of his killings and a beautiful princess who are out to stop him. It didn't make a great deal of sense to me (mostly because the subtitles of the print I was watching tended to blend into the background.) Then again I didn't care, this movie is just a good deal of fun to watch with earnest performances, great action, some gore and numerous I can't believe they are doing this moments.No its not the best film to come down the pike. It meanders a bit too much and as much as I enjoyed it it was just a tad too cheesy in execution. Still if the English title of Holy Virgin vs Evil Dead instantly makes you sit up and want to either know more or see this film, then you've come to the right place.

Donnie Yen is probably the most underrated martial arts star of the nineties. Without him, this movie would be nothing more than a Hong Kong snuff film with mediocre special effects and dozens of naked women...not that a movie like THAT couldn't stand on its own merits.The movie begins with what looks like a beach party with a teacher and a half dozen of his female students. Paradise? Yes, until a cranky demigod rises from the earth and kills every girl there. It is the ancient Chinese god of misogyny.The teacher, Donnie Yen, is the prime suspect in their dismemberments. Much of the movie is his search for clues as to the identity of the real killer.I won't say much more except that the movie switches venue to Cambodia and then turns completely from horror to action movie. How many naked Cambodian women can you have in a scene before it begins to look gratuitous?Apparently more than twenty...

i got hold of this classic from a friend and set down to watch it expecting some kinda cheesey porn with no storyline, terrible acting and an appauling script. But what i got suprised me, the script was really good and one of the best fantasy martial arts storys i've ever seen, granted this isn't a lot but the story kept my attention and i pleasantly pleased. the acting wasn't fantastic but it was a lot better than you see in most films. the nudity wasnt iver used although at times it was VERY pointless an example is one of the most amusing and confusing tracking shots that i know, about 200 naked women standing around taking there clothes off for no reason.The story is simple and brilliant and explains itself perfectly as the movie develops to let the audience learn more and more. The Moon monster kills and rapes several female students and injures their teacher, he gets out on bail and tries to hunt down the moon monster, this leads to a load of different plot turns and developments and telling them here may spoil the enjoyment for you. a very enjoyable movie that everybody should try and hunt down and watch and enjoy. 8/10 top job
