What if Alien was a Hong Kong horror movie?

In the gleefully gory 1986 Chow Yun-Fat horror flick The Seventh Curse (trailer), a heroic cursed police officer must battle an evil cult that makes juice out of babies for unholy blood rituals.

In one scene, the heroes encounter a possessed corpse that immediately transforms into a hybrid between a xenomorph and a gargoyle. It’s weird enough on its own, but just wait until 2:27 rolls around. Not even going to bother explaining that. Also, the explosive ending is pretty clutch.

Previously from martial arts archivist Sardonicus:

This is probably the greatest kung fu battle of all time

Porcupine armor and watermelon monsters

Was this insane kung fu battle the inspiration for Dhalsim from Street Fighter?
