蜈蚣咒 - Centipede Horror (1982)
BLOGTOBER 10/19/2018 PT 2: CENTIPEDE HORROR
Look. It's CENTIPEDE HORROR, ok?
I'm sure there's some subtext here. I'll even try to tease it out a little bit for you. But I won't try too hard. Because it's just, CENTIPEDE HORROR.
CENTIPEDE HORROR is one of those movies that I promised myself I would never watch, from the moment I became aware of it. The subject was simply too disturbing, the actual amount of actual centipedes too foul. It promised to be the kind of movie that, even if it were really lousy, the basic fabric of it would still succeed at depriving me of sleep for the rest of my life.
There comes a time, though, when you have to face your fears. It comes sometime after you find out that FACES OF DEATH is actually appealingly weird and kind of soulful; after you discover that even a paragon of nihilism like NEKROMANTIC can be kind of funny and sweet; after you're forced at spear-point to admit that CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST has moments of real editorial brilliance...sometime after all that shit happens to you, you come to realize that it's probably time to watch CENTIPEDE HORROR.
CENTIPEDE HORROR is a pretty great movie, as it turns out. It's sweet and funny. It has mystery and adventure. It has shaman fights and flaming chicken familiars. And it will definitely make you barf. People barfed at my first public screening. I almost barfed, and I almost barfed the second time on the exact same frame. I had sort of an out of body experience, in fact. From somewhere high above, I thought, "Wow, this is really happening--I'm one of those people who dutifully contributes to a movie's fantastical notoriety by publicly sacrificing their physical integrity to the cause! Is this...my martyrdom??"
I'm sure I could dig through CENTIPEDE HORROR's surprisingly robust plot and tell you about its psychological underpinnings, if that seemed really important. Our hero investigates the mysterious, and mysteriously disgusting death of his sister in "Southeast Asia", which their parents have mysteriously forbade them to visit. He and his girl-just-friend slowly unravel his troubling ancestral history of infidelity, dishonor, and general ruination of the family unit, all of which have brought about the horrifying centipede curse that has recently reared its pincery head. I have to admit that, as a westerner, it's sort of fun to see a horror movie in which *men* are punished for their lack of chastity; this is a theme that runs from the aforementioned historical revelations, through to the present when the hero fails to resist the erotic advances of his shamanically possessed gal pal. But really...who needs subtext, when you have THIS MANY CENTIPEDES?
For real, CENTIPEDE HORROR goes to a place where you don't even need a metaphor to flesh out the sheer terror on display. If I made you a list of all of my favorite horror movies, you couldn't stop me from obsessively describing what I think each of them is secretly about, that makes them so psychologically indelible...except for this one. Centipedes, in and of themselves, are the very stuff of nightmares, what the Bible refers to as "the crawling things of the earth". These mouse-eating motherfuckers are unstoppable in their scale and number, and their very appearance from within the soil reminds us of the horrible return we must someday make to that very soil. Unlike your average knife-wielding maniac, or even your classier romantically-oriented monster, the centipede is its own raison d'horreur. It doesn't need any of your rigorous intellectual bullshit to make you barf. Just lots, and lots, and lots, and lots of little friends.
And an actress willing to do literally anything, apparently.

Day 48 - Centipede Horror (Keith Li, 1984)
I've never seen a film that used a "Rocky" song without it being a spoof. The film uses Bill Conti's song "Mickey" from "Rock III", for its "sad moments".
The film is essentially an 80s Hong Kong exploitation horror (well kinda).
I'm actually surprised it isn't more popular within the exploitation fan-boy community.
I'm leading you slightly astray, this really isn't as bad as you would think, there are incredibly cheesy over the top moments but (for me anyway) it is quite enjoyable.
It is almost like "Mr. Vampire" or "A Chinese Ghost Story" but pushed more into the American Horror direction ... and no Kung Fu
