A Fox Spirit Story 倩狐传

Directed by Lv Lei, 2017

I could find no information about this beautiful, enchanting film online. Love at first sight between a poor Taoist scholar and a young woman who is cursed with demonic possession and fears both her demonic 'family' and the threat that the fox demon poses to her beloved. However, a couple of demon hunters are there to save the day. They defeat the wicked sister, the evil betrothed and the fat, long-finger-nailed, powerful, overbearing 'grandma.' With the fox demon gone as well, these two sweet young individuals can live happily ever after. I enjoyed it anyway.

Madam Medusa

2010 Digital Remaster by UB40

Medusa by Godmachine







From the land of shadows
Comes a dreadful sight
Lady with the marble smile
Spirit of the night
See the scourge of innocence
Swinging in her hand
Hear the silent suffering
That echoes through the land

From the tombs of ignorance
Of hate and greed and lies
Through the smoke of sacrifice
Watch her figure rise
The sick the poor the old
Basking in her radiance
Men of blood and gold

In her bloody footsteps
Speculators prance
Men of dreams are praying
For that second chance
Round her vacant features
Gilded serpents dance
Her tree of evil knowledge
Sprouts a special branch

Madam Medusa
Madam Medusa
Madam Medusa

Knock her right down
And then she bounce right back
Knock her right down
And then she bounce right back
She gone off her head
We've got to shoot her dead
She gone off her head
We've got to shoot her dead
Run for your life before she eat you alive
Run for your life before she eat you alive
Move out of the way 'cause you're blocking out the day
Move out of the way 'cause you're blocking out the day
