The Holy Virgin Versus the Evil Dead | Blu-ray (88 Films)
RELEASE DATE: June 2024
In June of 2024, 88 Films is releasing the Blu-ray (Region B) for The Holy Virgin Versus the Evil Dead, a 1991 action fantasy directed by Tony Lou Chun-Ku (Killer Angels, Holy Flame of the Martial World) that stars Donnie Yen (Raging Fire, Ip Man 4: The Finale, Big Brother).
Professor Shiang’s female students are chewed apart by the moon monster. At first, Shiang is a police suspect, but as the corpses mount, the cops realize that there are supernatural forces at work.
The Holy Virgin Versus the Evil Dead also stars Pauline Yeung Bo Ling (Dragons Forever), Ken Lo (Fighting Fist, Drunken Master 2), Ben Lam (Seven Warriors, Raging Fire), Kathy Chow (Operation Bangkok), and Sibelle Hu (My Lucky Stars).
The film is choreographed by the trifecta of Chui Fat, Fan Chin-Hung, and Lung Sang, who all worked together on the previous years Fire Phoenix, everyone gets a chance to strut their stuff. The likes of Yen, Lam, and Lo are all at their physical peaks and get to show off their impressive bootwork, which includes a great 2 versus 1 encounter which pits Yen and Lam against Lo. Being shot in South East Asia, as an added bonus we naturally get a gratuitous amount of machine gun fire and hapless lackeys running into streams of bullets for good measure, which includes Lam letting rip with a mounted machine gun like Rambo, and even a flame thrower, all within the same scene!
This title will soon be available at The Goodie Emporium, a U.S.-based online store that currently has many Import Shaw Brothers/Golden Harvest/martial arts DVD/Blu-ray movies in-stock – with New titles being added regularly!
Details and features are pending. Until then, here’s the film’s classic Trailer:
