降頭 Gong Tau: An Oriental Black Magic (uncut) 2007
Gong Tau: An Oriental Black Magic is a 2007 Hong Kong voodoo horror film directed by Herman Yau Lai-to (邱禮濤). Mark Cheng Ho-nam (鄭浩南) and Maggie Shiu Mei-kei (邵美琪) stars.
A Hong Kong policeman whose extramarital affair literally comes back to haunt him. Inspector Cheung Lok-man (Mark), who is better known as "Rockman" by his fellow law enforcers, is a hard-boiled CID detective and who previously entered into a heated tryst with sultry stripper Elli (滕子萱 Teng Tzu-hsuen) while in Thailand investigating a case involving both the Hong Kong and Thai underground syndicates. Unexpectedly summoned back to Hong Kong, Rockman promises Elli that he will return for her as soon as possible and not too distant future, but ultimately fails to make good on his word.
Three years later, Rockman is investigating a murder in Hong Kong when his son dies under mysterious circumstances and notorious fugitive Lam Chiu (黃德斌 Kenny Wong Tak-ban) murders a uniformed policeman on patrol. Despite the fact that he was shot in the head by Rockman, Lam miraculously recovers from his would-be mortal wound and finds that he is no longer able to experience physical pain. As the local newspapers scramble to find a connection between the two cases, supernaturally perceptive CID detective Brother Sum (林雪 Lam Suet) begins to suspect that the lovelorn Elli may have placed a curse on detective Rockman after he failed to return to her in Thailand.
At first Rockman is skeptical of this speculation, but when his grieving wife Kar-pi (Maggie) begins suffering from a potent form of black magic known as Gong Tau (voodoo) he quickly seeks the assistance of renowned exorcist, "Master Clear Sea" (馮克安 Fung Hak-on). Unfortunately the exorcism fails to take, causing the malevolent sorcerer who originally placed it to grow infinitely more powerful. Later, when Lam offers to remove the curse that hangs over Kar-pi if Rockman allows him to go free, it is revealed that the originator of the curse was Elli's guardian angel Lockman (古宇 Kris Gu Yu), and that the malevolent Gong Tau-practitioner is determined to make Rockman and his family suffer the worst torment imaginable.
