Please note:
This ultra gory film, basking in lurid colors and extreme closeups,
also has many 'mondo' segments which consist of disturbing scenes of
animal cruelty.
A HK television
crew goes to a primitive island to investigate the tomb of a Dwarf Sorcerer.
Inadvertently, their intrusion causes a plague of blood spells, supernatural
attacks and hordes of deadly scorpions upon the small village nearby.
The lead female reporter - who has just started her period - becomes a
target of the mayhem and secludes herself in a cave. The isolation tactic
doesn't work and scorpions begin to erupt from under her skin. An old
sorcerer tries to remove the powerful spell but as he desperately chants
and prays, all the crew members are falling prey to the deadly curse.
