Editor's Review of Witch From Nepal – 5/10
Witch From Nepal has a very disjointed story, plot holes so bad the movie borders on fantasy and minimal characterization and dialogue. In short, the movie is boring and even fans of Chow Yun-fat will be hard pressed to enjoy it. To be fair, the movie was reasonable at the time it was made back in 1985 but there is not much in it for modern audiences.
