The Disaster of Centipede (2020)

Other name: 奇门相术

Description:

"The Disaster of Centipede" unveils three harrowing narratives from ancient China, each illustrating how humanity's flaws lead to profound catastrophe. The first chilling tale unfolds in the Tang Dynasty within Ray County, where a relentless appetite for wild animals and a disregard for life draw sinister forces. The perpetual bloodshed at the local meat market soaks into the earth, beckoning malevolent entities that terrorize the county by preying on young children, engulfing the community in fear, save for a tranquil area by the river.

Transitioning to the Ming Dynasty, the film explores the bitter societal divisions caused by a wealthy young master's reckless and excessive waste of vital grain crops, sparking silent but intense resentment among the impoverished peasantry. Finally, in the Republic of China, a powerful tycoon's overt preference for his son, showering him with spoils, ignites fierce jealousy and discord among his neglected daughters. This gripping film delves into the multifaceted disasters stemming from human nature and their devastating consequences across different eras.
