Candle in the Tomb: The Worm Valley

2023 · 94 min

A pulpy, claustrophobic tomb-crawl that trades logic for lurid creature scares and ancient booby-trap spectacle.

Directed by
Dai Yilin
Genres
Action, Adventure, Horror
Overview
Adapted from the 3rd volume in the novel series "Candle in the Tomb" by Zhang Mu Ye. Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, and Shiely Yang, infected with a curse, embark on a journey to King Xian's tomb to retrieve the Haochen Bead and break the curse. They face ancient organs, ghostly visions, explosive bugs, and a massive salamander.
