Queen of Black Magic

Mondo Macabro presents QUEEN OF BLACK MAGIC - Starring Indonesian film icon, Suzzanna as the Queen.

This was one of the first Asian horror movies to be widely released on video in the US. Its crazy special effects and wild gore sequences were unique at the time and are still eye-opening today.

The story is set in the exotic countryside of far-off Indonesia. A wedding ceremony goes dreadfully wrong and the groom suspects black magic. He seeks out the woman he believes is responsible and she is hurled to her death over a high cliff. She is rescued from the dark jungle by a strange hermit. He tells her that she must seek revenge. They accused her of black magic - now she must learn to use that magic against them and become the Queen of Black Magic.

The film stars Indonesian horror icon Suzzanna in one of her most iconic roles. Born Suzzanna Martha Frederika von Osh she began her career as a child actress in the late 1950s and was first featured in a horror-themed role in the 1972 film BIRTH IN THE GRAVE. She would go on to make a large number of such films in the 1980s. Even now, many years after her death, she is still revered as one of her country’s best loved screen icons.
