Movie Reviews of Horrors of Malformed Men
Movie Review: The horror of humanity
Summary: 5 Stars
If you make a film involving cruel experimentation on animals, you are bound to face some serious backlash. The movie will most likely get banned in several countries. But what about doing some malicious testing and transformation of humans? That will strike a devastating nerve in the collective minds of the world. The Horrors of Malformed Men is a true paramount to the unflinching evil that man is capable of and the fear that wickedness can generate. Still banned in Japan, this is "the most notorious Japanese film ever made." No cult horror film collection is complete without it.
The Japanese rarely seem to make a simple film. This one is also very complex, even to the point of being convoluted. But that makes for incredible replay value. American films seldom offer such a thought-provoking script, I'm sad to say. Casual movie watchers should stay far away from this one.
Along with the complex storyline, there is plenty of bizarre and twisted imagery. It all boils down to a web-fingered doctor kidnapping and surgically deforming people. He has a twisted scheme formulated to surround himself with physical representations of his own mental and emotional scars (shudder!). Talk about disturbing.
Filmed back in '69, this masterpiece opened several doors and influenced all types of following films. This movie reminded me of FREAKS and ISLAND OF LOST SOULS. Highly recommended. You've got to see this to believe it.
