jadavix A young woman travels to "SE Asia" (country never divulged) despite her elders warning her never to go there. She is then apparently the victim of a curse or "spell" that causes her body to spew centipedes which quickly turn on their host.The woman's brother travels around the same "SE Asian" country trying to undo the curse while we are treated to more centipede-spewing, some coming out the mouth, others, apparently, coming out the vagina swimming in menstrual blood.I will say that however much the actress was paid who had centipedes coming out of her mouth - and crawling back in there - wasn't enough.Other than that all that the movie really has to offer are some interesting black magic sequences, but these pale in comparison to the classic Shaw Bros. movie, "Boxer's Omen".Some of my difficulty with the movie may have admittedly been due to the typically obtuse subtitles, which would be familiar to any fan of HK movies. You know the ones, with the Asian characters on top and English beneath them. The English is generally poorly translated, but that's not the biggest problem: the subtitles are white and so are many of the movie's scenes, making some of the subtitles impossible to read.
BA_Harrison Reading the other comments for this film here on IMDb, one might be forgiven for being a bit confused.Some people claim that this is one of the vilest pieces of filth ever committed to celluloid and only the sick and depraved would be able to (or want to) sit through it in its entirety. This couldn't be further from the truth.Other comments describe scenes of torture, abortions, real animal killings, castration, decapitation, mutilation, and humiliation. God only knows what film they were watching, but it sure wasn't Keith Li's Centipede Horror.However, select 'prolific authors' in the comment filter, and you get a much more accurate account of the film (thank you EVOL666 and HumanoidOfFlesh for your always reliable contributions).Centipede Horror is actually a fairly hum-drum serving of HK supernatural horror that is enlivened occasionally by some silly black magic mumbo-jumbo and a spot of creepy-crawly nastiness for all those afraid of many-legged mini-beasts.The film begins with a young woman and her friend travelling to SE Asia where they are bitten by poisonous centipedes, which ultimately cause their deaths. The brother of one of the girls decides to investigate his sibling's strange demise, and discovers that his sister was the victim of a spell, placed on her by a magician seeking revenge for a terrible act perpetrated by their long-dead grandfather. And now he's after the brother too! The first 40 minutes of this film is almost coma inducing, and only the most committed of horror fans will make it past this point. Those that do will then be treated to an entertaining 'exorcism' involving a naked woman with a green stomach, two ghost children, and some yucky bugs.From this point on, things thankfully get more interesting, until the effective finalé which features loads of scuttling critters and a wonderful closing moment which is guaranteed to make you gag: a woman graphically throws up several large centipedes!!!
Mahatma Fabrizi I write this comment almost 12 days after watching this movie and still there is a sense of discomfort about this movie, when I think of the way it ended. Very frankly "Centipede Horror" freaked me out. Seen a lot of Din Long Lee (Hong Kong Police Madame 3) vehicles, but this one, Dang!!!! really put me off. First of all the movie is paced so slowly that it kinds of puts off track and then last 30 minutes just blows you off, with a last few scenes taking the cake. This in no way can be described as a family picture, rather, it is a movie for psychos whose time might be better spent getting their noggins looked at. With decent acting from all of them. I give this one nevertheless a 0/10 just for sheer bad vibes...Steer clear.
HumanoidOfFlesh Kay,a young woman,goes on vacation to South East Asia,which turns out to be a fatal mistake.She certainly wishes to be far far away when countless centipedes attack her.Kay lives through it,but not for long.In the hospital,her body is slowly decaying and she finally dies when the worms crawl out of her open wounds.Her brother Pak does research work and discovers that probably a 'centipede spell' was cast upon his sister.Could this all have to do with a mysterious fire his grandfather was involved in fifty years ago, that caused the death of three people?After finding out the truth,Pak and his girlfriend are in serious danger,when the centipedes attack once more..."Centipede Horror" is a gross HK horror film directed by Keith Li.The scene in which poor woman begins to vomit up centipedes is extremely disgusting.The special effects are pretty good and there is plenty of Asian weirdness.Check it out.7 out of 10.
