Wow, this is one crazy movie. And it only could have come from the wild and weird waters of Asian horror cinema. At first blush, this looks like your typical bugs run amok type of horror movie - only from Asia. That's what I expected. A bunch of centipedes crawling over people and creeping folks out for 90 minutes. Well, I do get some of that, but the nasty little buggies aren't as much the focal point of this story as you think. They're the climax. I'm not sure the source of the print but I'm gonna guess Japanese laserdisc or somesuch. At any rate, at the bottom of the screen is thrown up subtitles, one set in Asian and one in English. The subtitles fare poorly against the background of the movie images and sometimes move too fast cuz when the Asian subtitles change, so do the English ones. Fortunately, you don't have to know a whole helluva lot about what's going on to enjoy the proceedings. Occasionally slow, but crazy and interesting overall, with a doozy of a climax. You'll catch enough from the subtitles to get the gist of the story, and that's all you really need. The plot runs something like this: A dude lets his sister - against mum's wishes - go on a vacation in SE Asia (which is how it's credited in the movie - "SE Asia'). She ends up attacked by centipedes and dies with these awful centipede bite sores or somesuch all over her body and 'pedes crawl out of some of them. So bro and his g/f head for SE ASIA! There they find out this has something to do with a curse placed on the family cuz of something shameful grandpa did while he was in SE Asia. I think I figured out what's up but I'm not sure. All I can say is some skeleton-in-the-closet sort of stuff went down. But the local witch doctor (I don't know what he is, that's the first term that comes to mind) sez that the curse shouldn't have extended to the current generation. But it's the centipede spell and that's a tough nut to crack. So this dude (who our protagonists have witnessed breaking a scorpion spell that causes vomiting. With the blood comes scorpions. So, hey, this dude is perfect to fight the centipede spell. Well, you'd think so anyway. He goes to his domicile and the bad witch doctor dude goes to his domicile and they proceed to have a wizard type shoot-out. There's lots of waving of totems (by which I mean bones) and chanting and crazy stuff. One witch doctor/wizard from Asia does something and some crazy stuff happens at the other witch doctor/wizard's crib.  After the first wizard dude proves too weak, another gets involved. This time, at the climax, you get the crazy and funny-as-hell wizard showdown (again) but you also get that bit cutting back and forth with the dude and his now-possessed girlfriend getting swamped by centipedes. This is a lot more than your run-of-the-mill bug movie. There's just as much Asian magic wackiness afoot here as bug stuff. At any rate, it's unique fun, so, like, check it out. In addition, Apprehensive Films, who is offering this minor classic on DVD, also includes a short film feature, Scalped, which is a brief but sucker-punching snippet of exploitation filmmaking which is off the hook, no doubt! --B-Scared
