Guest Markgway Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?id=5566&display_set=eng In the link it claims that this film is a Golden Harvest-Toei Company co-production. I don't believe that's correct. Where did that info come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member spannick Posted June 20, 2012 Member Share Posted June 20, 2012 i guess because Reiko Ike, Japanese Toei-Starlet of the Time, stars in it. but i see no mention of Toei in the Movie Credits (can't decipher the Chinese-only ones though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 The credits don't mention Toei. Neither does the Hong Kong poster. From what I was able to gather Toei loaned out Reiko in exchange for the Japanese theatrical distribution rights. No mention of any production involvement though.

Member Takuma Posted March 17, 2017 Member Share Posted March 17, 2017 Watched this a while ago. The Bedevilled (Hong Kong, 1975) [DVD] - 1.5/5 As the short lived Pinky Violence genre ran out of popularity in the mid 70s, Reiko Ike found herself looking for other work opportunities. She had small supporting roles in Toei's yakuza films, did one movie for Nikkatsu, and also found time to appear in this Hong Kong horror. Unfortunately it is just about the worst movie you could get with the Ike + Golden Harvest + HK Horror combination. Ike is an innocent wife raped by a sleazebag young master. The man is later found dead, with Ike missing and her husband getting the blame for it. Court drama and vengeful ghosts ensue. Ike looks great in Chinese clothes (and yes, she does get rid of them multiple times) but it's hard to get excited about the film. As a court drama it's boring, as horror it's just silly. It even end of an educational moral note. Do not expect anything shocking or sleazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
