I just don't know why I constantly subject my self to this crap...I haven't seen one of these types of films yet that I even remotely enjoyed, but being that I have the urge to try to absorb anything horror related - I guess I gotta take the good with the bad...
CENTIPEDE HORROR is another 80's HK film that deals with sorcery and vendettas and puking things up - in this case centipedes. A girl goes on vacation to South East Asia. While there, a sorcerer notices her wearing a necklace that belonged to an old comrade of the sorcerer, whose misdeeds caused the decimation of their village. The sorcerer casts a spell which causes centipedes to attack the girl while she's out in the woods trying to take a leak. When she dies, her brother travels to the scene of the incident to look for answers to his sisters death...
I don't know why other reviewers talk about these films as though they are so gory and disturbing. Yes...there are a few scenes of people puking up live centipedes in CENTIPEDE HORROR which can be kind of gross, but other than that (oh yeah...and one decent scorpion puking scene...), there is virtually no violence, gore, or other disturbing material in this film - and this also goes for all the other films in this same genre, such as SEEDING OF A GHOST, DEVIL FETUS, THE DEVIL, etc...They are all typically dull and derivative of each other - all involve some sort of sorcery, some sort of revenge against a previous wrong doing - and all have this revenge being exacted in the form of people puking up some sort of live creature. All very similar - all very dull. I give CENTIPEDE HORROR a 5/10 - only because the story is a little more coherent and is better filmed than some of the other entries - although I believe SEEDING OF A GHOST to be the best of this bad genre of films...leave these alone unless you're like me and HAVE to see everything horror-related, regardless of quality or entertainment value...5/10
