Synopsis:
After striking a Faustian deal with the devil, fighter Zou Qi gains the power to summon nine demon spirits to do his bidding. Armed with new supernatural abilities and bound to a chain of skulls that unleashes the flesh-hungry minions, he sets out to settle a bloody score between rival families and save his childhood friend. But he quickly finds himself losing control as the demons consume everything, and everyone, around him. He must confront the true cost of the wicked power he's unleashed before it devours him completely in this hybrid horror/ martial arts wuxia classic.
Directed by Shaw Brothers visionary and 'Godfather of Hong Kong Cinema' Chang Cheh (Five Deadly Venoms, One-armed Swordsman, Invincible Shaolin), The Nine Demons sees him reunited with members of the legendary Venom Mob in one of the weirdest and wildest late-era offshoots of that iconic collaboration. Though not a Shaw Brothers production, it carries over the Venoms' signature fight choreography into a surreal fantasy world packed with flying skull demons, vampiric children, and chaotic low-budget and bloody effects. The result is a feverish, anything-goes blend of old school martial arts heroics and occult horror that stands as a truly unhinged and unforgettable cult artifact of the classic martial arts era.
