The Poison Cat
6.5
In southwest China, the ancient legend of the Poison Cat circulates. Hunter Tai has been feeling increasingly uneasy lately as he inexplicably connects the eerie cries in the forest and the strange occurrences in the village with his wife’s unusual behaviour. The age-old way of life he knows seems to be crumbling, echoing the prophecy in the legend.
