Imprint is on a roll with their latest Shaw Brothers boxed sets! Check out the details below:
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.
