Cracking, sexy variation on the old ‘dreams can kill’ scenario with the great Anthony Wong as a sexually frustrated husband (wife has a heart problem) stitched up like a kipper by an occultist who offers him sizzlingly hot erotic dreams for a price. At first it’s great fun for our Anthony but corpses soon begin to turn up around the house because the occultist turns out to have complete control over Wong’s actions in his dreams. He can force the guy to do whatever he wants and ends up blackmailing our hero for control of his business. Poor Anthony doesn’t have a chance. So it’s up to Wong’s brother and the occultist’s much battered female assistant to take down the bad guy and save the day.
So what can I say about this delirious slice of highly enjoyable sleaze? Well for starters the girls are hot, hot, HOT! It’s softcore but the sex scenes are pushed about as far as they can and unlike the usual joyless/embarrassing/tedious excuse for humping that passes in so much of genre cinema the dreams – in which Wong is seduced by some willingly submissive schoolgirl babes – manage to be really erotic and really hilarious. The POV blowjob amused me no end and I couldn’t stop laughing at the scene in which Wong is a PE teacher urging the line up of luscious babes in front of him to bend lower so he can cop a better eyeful of their gorgeous tits practically bursting out of those tight gym tops. With blood soaked dismembered corpses and sexy dreams that always end badly for Anthony (in one memorable scene his shagging is interrupted by an old lady who charges him with a pair of garden shears determined to cut off his knob) it’s classic Hong Kong exploitation cinema, wild, demented and yet somehow just holding together through sheer zest.
It’s also a winner because not only do the actresses seem up for a laugh but Anthony Wong shows just why he’s so damn good in this sort of stuff. He can play it straight and serious but beneath the surface one senses a gleefully devilish streak in him that’s clearly loving every second of it. Equally effective is that the villain turns out to be a right sadistic sod in torturing and beating the shit out of his assistant so much that when the tables are turned and it’s the occultists’s turn to be put to sleep – even as he fights desperately to stay awake – his assistant’s crooning of ‘Go to sleep little baby’ proves a delightful, delicious moment of well earned revenge on a creep who ends up trapped in a dream hell being fucked in the ass by a couple of big black dudes for all eternity. Serves him right!
