WOMAN CHASING THE BUTTERFLY OF DEATH is a South Korean horror flick from 1978 that has to be seen to be believed. It starts off with suicide and moves onto a bizarre adventure all about the "will to live", which apparently has the power to transcend death itself at times. There's an old guy who gets murdered but keeps coming back (a bit like the hitchhiker in CREEPSHOW 2), an archaeologist studying human skulls and his terminally ill daughter, and a 2,000 year old female skeleton in a cave that regenerates to life (like in THE CREEPING FLESH). The whole thing is cheap and schlocky looking, but deadly serious, which somehow makes it funnier at times. I enjoyed all the macabre and outre elements despite the paucity of the effects, but in the second half it loses a lot of steam and goes on about forty minutes too long come the cop-out ending.
