Cult director Teruo Ishii (Shogun s Joy of Torture, Blind Woman s Curse) presents a nightmarish, haIlucinogenic tale drawn from the fevered imagination of Japan s celebrated pioneer ofero-guro ( erotic grotesque ) literature, Edogawa Rampo.
MedicaI student Hirosuke Hitomi sIips out of the asyIum in which he has been wrongfulIy confined and stealthiIy 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 marital bed. But as long-repressed memories begin to bubble to the surface, he soon finds himseIf drawn to a remote isIe 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 whiIe incorporating motifs from a myriad of Rampo's tales, Horrors of Malformed Men boasts astonishing carnivalesque art design and haunting performances. Withdrawn from cinemas by its own studio after its originaI scandaIous release nearIy fifty years ago, the film is among the very best screen interpretations of the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.
