Black Magic
降頭
A magician makes money by charging people to cast love spells on the objects of their affection. Complications arise when he decides that he wants a customer's bride for himself.
Why it matters
A 1970s occult thriller that blends sleazy folk magic with a creeping sense of doom, capturing a murky moment before horror fully embraced the supernatural spectacle.
- An unsettling dive into low-budget witchcraft cinema, where charm and menace walk a crooked line.
- The magician’s morally warped hustle feels like a period piece on obsession and desire gone dark.
- Practical effects and gritty cinematography root the film in a tactile, pre-CGI era of occult horror.
- Perfect for fans of folk horror’s seedier underbelly and cult curiosities from the decade’s occult boom.
