Escape from the Deadly Town

In the desolate village with dilapidated houses, dead trees, and gloomy winds, a revenge kidnapping unfolds. All this is actually a bloodshed caused by an astonishing scam. Wang Yantao, whose family is destroyed, is bent on killing the enemy with his own hands. In the house an interrogation goes on, in the unfinished building hides a huge sum of stolen money, and former accomplices turn against each other. When Wang raises his butcher's knife, who will get out unscathed in the dark? The media's dark secrets will be unveiled in horror.

Directed by 何静宣, Escape from the Deadly Town leans on a strong ensemble — Zheng Yang, He You Li, Zou Yitian — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2026.
