Centipede Horror (Chinese: 蜈蚣咒), also known as Centipede Curse,[1] is a 1981 Hong Kong horror film directed by Keith Li.[2] It stars Michael Miu as Pak.[3]
Two friends, Pak and Chee, visit Singapore to investigate the death of Pak's sister Kay. They soon learn that Kay fell victim to the powerful "centipede spell", and find themselves threatened by a magician who seeks revenge for a crime committed by their grandfather years prior.
In April 2020, a restoration of the film by the American Genre Film Archive (AGFA) sourced from a 35 mm film print was made available to rent on video-on-demand (VOD).[4] In 2022, a 2K restoration of the film was released on Blu-ray by Error_4444, a label that distributes Asian films.[5] Prior to these releases, Centipede Horror had not received an official home media release in the United States, though bootlegged copies did exist.[4]
