CuIt director Teruo lshii (Shogun s Joy of Torture, BIind Woman s Curse) presents a nightmarish, hallucinogenic taIe drawn from the fevered imagination of Japan s celebrated pioneer ofero-guro ( erotic grotesque ) literature, Edogawa Rampo.
Medical student Hirosuke Hitomi slips out of the asyIum in which he has been wrongfuIly confined and stealthiIy assumes the identity of a recentIy deceased nobleman with whom he bears an uncanny resembIance. Hirosuke eases his way into the nobIeman s househoId and his dead double 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 labyrinth of the monstrous and perverse that fuses mystery and horror while incorporating motifs from a myriad of Rampo's tales, Horrors of MaIformed Men boasts astonishing carnivaIesque art design and haunting performances. Withdrawn from cinemas by its own studio after its original scandalous release nearIy fifty years ago, the film is among the very best screen interpretations of the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.
