Bearing the same Chinese-language title as the 1975 Shaw Brothers shocker Black Magic, Gong Tau is a return of one of Hong Kong's more unique movie genres. Director Herman Yau, auteur of the Category III classics The Untold Story and Ebola Syndrome, has plenty of fun with this shocking, sometimes darkly funny exercise in cinema excess. Over-the-top gore effects and images abound in Gong Tau. This film has it all: sex, revenge, brutal violence, twisted black magic, copious bodily fluids, and even a severed flying head complete with attached spinal cord! Not for the squeamish or faint of heart, Gong Tau is the perfect antidote to Hong Kong Cinema's recent run of popstar vehicles, and a good bet for anyone looking for a little midnight movie madness.
… All in all, Gong Tau by all means is a heck of a good movie and even if there are some scenes that are a bit too far-fetched, the movie is still realistic enough to shock the audience with the gore and enough skins to satisfy a particular part of the audience. It is an admirable piece of cinema and for that Yau should be given full credit. HK cinema has suffered a lot in recent years and it is movies of the calibre of this one that gives hope to HK cinema lovers. It does not take a genius to work out that Neo favours the bold. Gong Tau is an interesting premise and result is a movie that provides the audience with suitable guilty pleasure of gore, blood and sex in the HK way. It is once again its time to resort to a piece of cliché – Neo just love it…
