Rating:  - Horribly Boring Malformed Men
This is super boring and not very shocking at all. Sex? None. Sure there is nudity, but it's all like a few Japanese folk singers ate some pot brownies and decided to take up residence in a costume shop for a while. A few topless chicks and lots and lots of meandering scenes. The malformed men are just people covered in flour or what seems to be birthday cake! I want my money back. Trust me. You don't want this. I enjoy weird, but this did not do it for me. Rampo and Tsukamoto make weird ... Read More
Rating:  - A Cabinet Of Perversities: Freudian 'Family Romance' As Grand Guignol And Raw Fish
Teruo Ishii's long-banned Horrors of Malformed Men (1969) is a genuinely nightmarish piece of Japanese horror cinema. Both highly disciplined and extremely excessive, its plot elements include deceitfully-assumed identities, doppelgangers, family secrets, murder, revenge, unrequited love, adultery, kidnapping, incest, bestiality, dismemberment, torture, cannibalism, human beings purposefully deformed through radical surgery, and almost every other known perversion.

Rating: - One of the most unique and bizarre films I've seen
And coming from Japan's long, unique, and often bizarre history of film, that is saying something. The fact that this film was produced in the sixties actually boggles my mind as does the amount of material pilfered from it over the years by both Western and Eastern filmmakers. The fact that it is still to this day banned in it's native Japan is another sticking point. Consider this a must for the film fan who's seen it all.

Rating: - Cult Classic???!?? Yeah Right......
Short and sweet: This movie was probably the worst pick of any film Synapse could have invested their time into, putting out such a lacklustre release. It went absolutely nowhere and was painful to watch to put it mildly. I honestly cannot think of any movie in recent memory from that time period I was so anxious for the ending to happen!
Being a fan of Asian and exploitation cinema, I really wanted to like this film, but I was sadly disappointed, and repeat viewings will never happen and totally ... Read More
Rating: - The Island of Dr. Mor What the F
Eight years before the original The Island of Dr. Monreau director/ writer Teruo Ishii gives viewers Horrors of the Malformed Men, a much darker film that is still banned in Japan.
Horrors is a twisted, artsy, perverse, at times erotic and brutal revenge horror tale with enough secrets and plot developments for ten movies, yet to give any of these away is to lessen the experience. Horrors is a revenge film that out revenges Oldboy, perhaps gave the inspiration for the seemingly commonplace of black ... Read More
