The Seventh Curse is a 1986 Hong Kong adventure horror film directed by Lam Ngai Kai (藍乃才) based on Ni Kuang (倪匡)'s novel series Dr. Yuen Series and stars Chin Siu-ho (錢嘉華) as Dr. Yuen. The film also stars Chow Yun-fat (周潤發) as Wisely, the protagonist in Ni's Wisely Series who appears as a supporting character in the Dr Yuen Series, while Ni himself serves as the film's narrator and also making a brief appearance as himself.

Dr. Yuen attempts to rescue a tribe girl from being sacrificed to the "Worm Tribe" god. Yuen is damned with seven "Blood Curses" which burst through his leg periodically. He will die when the seventh bursts, but Bachu (崔秀麗 Chui Sau-lai), the girl he saved, stops the curse with an antidote. The antidote only lasts one year, so on the advice of Wisely (Chow), he heads back to Thailand to find a permanent cure. Yuen and his allies battle the evil Sorcerer Aquala (徐錦江 Elvis Tsui Kam-kong) of the Worm Tribe, a hideous bloodthirsty baby-like creature, and "Old Ancestor," a skeleton with glowing blue eyes that transforms into a monster.
