It’s a story we’ve seen over and over and over again: A Hell Witch appears at a “devil hole” along with the Hell Virgin, who is the innocent daughter of the Hell King. Now two ass-kicking monks, who are of course named Peacock and Lucky Fruit, must travel to four different devil holes and use their ancient powers of Yang to fight the witch and kill the virgin and stop the resurrection of the Hell King, which would plunge the world into darkness.
From Lam Nai-Choi, director of Beacon favorites THE SEVENTH CURSE and THE CAT, comes his most family-friendly movie yet! THE PEACOCK KING features stop-motion beasties, jaw-dropping monster transformations, flying warriors from the Devil Sect, and possessed dinosaurs that eat department store managers. Fireballs explode, men get squeezed to death, and a gigantic claw emerges from a woman’s locker. There are projections of demons, ancient Buddhist drama that involves traitors, and dummies that get thrown from a Ferris wheel. Oh, and cannibalism.
