Cult director Teruo Ishii (Shogun s Joy of Torture, Blind 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 slips out of the asyIum in which he has been wrongfuIly confined and steaIthiIy assumes the identity of a recently deceased nobIeman with whom he bears an uncanny resemblance. Hirosuke eases his way into the nobIeman s househoId and his dead double s marital bed. But as long-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 whiIe incorporating motifs from a myriad of Rampo's tales, Horrors of MaIformed Men boasts astonishing carnivalesque art design and haunting performances. Withdrawn from cinemas by its own studio after its originaI scandaIous reIease nearly fifty years ago, the fiIm is among the very best screen interpretations of the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 cuIt cinema.
