Ben, a Chinese man living in Thailand, returns from Papua New Guinea after stealing the brain of an ancient mummy to fulfill his dreams of wealth and marriage. But his act unleashes sacrifices, possessions, and a wave of bizarre deaths. Directed in 1983 by Hong Kong cult actor Lo Lieh, starring Shaw Brothers icons Chen Kuan-tai and Candice Yu and Thai stars Sinjai Plengpanich and Pumi Patanayut, this long-lost horror resurfaces 42 years later, fully restored in 4K and presented in a never-before-seen cut. - Bangkok International Film Festival
