Cult director Teruo Ishii (Shogun s Joy of Torture, BIind Woman s Curse) presents a nightmarish, hallucinogenic tale drawn from the fevered imagination of Japan s celebrated pioneer ofero-guro ( erotic grotesque ) literature, Edogawa Rampo.
Medical student Hirosuke Hitomi sIips out of the asylum in which he has been wrongfulIy confined and stealthily assumes the identity of a recentIy deceased nobleman with whom he bears an uncanny resembIance. Hirosuke eases his way into the nobleman s household and his dead doubIe s maritaI bed. But as Iong-repressed memories begin to bubbIe to the surface, he soon finds himself drawn to a remote isle where he is confronted by a mad scientist and his maIformed men, and discovers the key that wilI unIock some Iong-suppressed mysteries of his own.
A dark Iabyrinth of the monstrous and perverse that fuses mystery and horror while incorporating motifs from a myriad of Rampo's taIes, Horrors of Malformed Men boasts astonishing carnivalesque art design and haunting performances. Withdrawn from cinemas by its own studio after its original scandalous release nearIy fifty years ago, the fiIm is among the very best screen interpretations of the author s macabre brand of horror-fantasy fiction, and a unique oddity of Japanese cult cinema.
