 | The Plot: Our film today takes place during the Eastern Han Dynasty in ancient China.

Cao Cao’s son, Cao Pi (Qiu Xinzhi), has recently found himself in an affair with the empress, but his own personal greed has him lusting over the throne even ahead of his father. While these petty grievances are being disputed amongst the wealthy, the real threat to the chancellor lies within his own castle.

 | The Plot: When a young country wife is found cheating on her husband, the rich farmer husband proceeds to go ballistic.

They open up their land to any-and-all contestants who feel that they are able to both kill this monstrous alien (who they blame the murder on) and also retrieve this dead man’s body. This draws in a number of competitors, and ultimately leads to a number of dead bodies. |
