Do not - we repeat, '''DO NOT''' confuse this with the TV series, ''Series/{{Bewitched}}''. This movie will bewitch audiences alright... in an absolutely different way. A pants-shitting, nightmare inducing way, if you may.

The Master of Gorn and Horror from Creator/ShawBrothers, Kuei Chi-hung, strike again with what is arguably his biggest accomplishment during his career.
''Bewitched'' is a 1981 Horror film starring directed by Kuei Chi-hung, starring Melvin Wong and Lily Chan. A box-office hit earning 5 million HKD during it's release, the film cements Kuei's status as a cult horror director, paving his way to his next hit, ''Film/TheBoxersOmen''.
A young child is discovered dead and abandoned on a beach. The child's single father, Stephen, was detained and later confesses to murdering his own daughter, in order to get rid of a {{Curse}} he had picked up after a love affair in Thailand. And when Sergeant Bobby Wong, a police officer handling the case, tries investigating deeper into the curse's origin, he too becomes its next victim.
Gore, murder, spilled intestines, more gorn, and hundreds of live maggots ensues.
Do not - we repeat, '''DO NOT''' confuse this with the TV series, ''Series/{{Bewitched}}''. This movie will bewitch audiences alright... in an absolutely different way. A pants-shitting, nightmare inducing way, if you may.

!!Contain examples of:
* ArtifactOfDoom: The charm amulet Stephen bought from a Thai temple, meant to bless him. It only results in a curse that takes control of his life, and later claims his daughter as a sacrifice.
* BilingualBonus: The witch doctor chants in Indonesian / Malaysian, and while his incantations isn't relevant to the plot, audiences familiar with either language can understand what he's chanting, since his prayers are often untranslated either in subtitles or dubbings.
* BodyHorror: Side effects of voodoo curse? Having veins popping out and ejecting green blood, and later having bubbles forming on the skin, which then explodes into fine white powder.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Most victims of the curse, but especially Stephen's young daughter.
* ConvenientlyTimedAttackFromBehind: Bobby, who was almost shot by the Nutcase at the end, but his colleague shows up and shoots said Nutcase IntheBack.
* CreepyChild: Stephen's daughter, after being hit by the voodoo curse meant for her father. From her ThousandYardStare, to her eating raw pig liver, and eventually trying to stab her own father...
* FacialHorror: The effects of the "Flying Curse" on it's victims. [[http://lh6.ggpht.com/_rK4V0ERNbi0/TNY9Y0d8IUI/AAAAAAAACX0/0X6a2ivZfHA/s400/bewitched-38.JPG As seen here]] ('''NSFW!''')
* {{Fanservice}}: From Bonnie Brown, the Thai girl Stephen is dating. Half of her scenes consists of her frolicking around with Stephen on a beach with her one-piece getting loose, exposing her boobies. And then there's her making out with Stephen in a BeachKiss moment, her jugs-a-hanging out, which left behind prints in the sand...
* {{Gorn}}: The movie doesn't really shy away from the gory parts. In fact, it lingers a little too long on disembowelled corpses, aborted foetuses, live maggots (hundreds and hundreds of it), a raw chicken getting sliced up onscreen and severed intestines...
* {{Infodump}}: The opening and closing of the film, basically, which delivers a WallOfText narrating the backstory of South East Asian voodoo.
* LivingStatue: The Indonesian witch doctor's incantations cause a statue of a bat to become alive and fly around the temple.
* MuggedFOrDisguise: The Nutcase robs a patrolling police officer of his clothing, and shows up a scene later wearing the stolen uniform, hijacking the traffic for his own amusement.
* OffingTheOffspring: Stephen, in order to purge the spirit in his daughter, end up knocking his child unconscious and driving a spike into the top of her head (ItMakesSenseInContext... this is how South-East Asian voodoo typically works). Only the spell backfires, and Stephen had unintentionally killed his own daughter.
* {{Poltergeist}}: Part of the effects of the curse inflicted by the amulet. You get hanging objects (like picture frames and lanterns) falling for no reason, wind blowing through windows, the ground shaking... and then the face of a vengeful Thai demon peers through a window.
* PsychopathicManchild: The Nutcase behaves like a loon, but he's also prone to violent tendencies, including knocking a policeman unconscious, hijacking the traffic by posing as a traffic cop, and trying to fire at public after getting his hands on a gun.
* RapidAging: [[spoiler: The witch doctor's fate at the ending, after his curse backfires on him, resulting in his hair turning white in ''seconds'' and growing long as his skin becomes increasingly wrinkled and cracking up]].
* TitleIn: Used in every scene when a new voodoo curse / incantation is introduced. '''Body Oil Curse'''... '''Lemon Spike Curse'''... '''Worm Curse'''... and the crowner, '''DEATH Curse'''.
* SpitTake: Stephen, who tried calming his nerves by drinking tea... only to find his cursed amulet in the water.
* ThisWasHisTrueForm: [[spoiler: After the witch doctor dies, his corpse shrivells, as a bat crawls out of his mouth and attempts to fly away. But the bat gets captured by a monk instead]].
* VomitIndiscretionShot: During the Worm Spell sequence. Victims under this curse would vomit '''live''' maggots... piles and piles of it.
* VoodooDoll: The Indonesian witch doctor uses one of these to main Bobby at the end of the film, which nearly works.
* WalkingSwimsuitScene: Bon Brown when making out with Stephen on a beach. Well, half a swimsuit, since the top part of her one-piece gets undone, and remains in this state for at least four minutes.
