I decided to write a review because I thought that the other review was extremely harsh. A lot of what it says is kind of correct but should be seen as possitive aspects of the film, which is a little bit tongue in cheek anyway. Also it does have some great cinematogrophy, humour and alot of originality. There are also some excellent extras. I would say this is a good package.

This review is from: Horrors of Malformed Men [DVD] [1969] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Gotta say I love this movie. Whilst it could be said the film makes no sense, it's actually a collection of stories by Edogawa Rampo which the director has tried to hold together. If somewhat unsuccesful it does make for amusing viewing as the story shifts abruptly to varying degrees of strangeness.
The filmin banned in Japan due to its depiction, supposedly, of the mentally ill. However, as the story is so wierd anyway, these concerns become somewhat redundant....just who is disturbed in this movie?
The Synapse Films dvd has an exceptionally good quality print - it looks gorgeous with bright clean pictures and sound. There's a short but informative 8-page bookelt, filmed interviews with other respected directors, and a film of its 2003 italian persentation. A commentary by film critic Mark Schilling is also included, though the sound quality of this somewhat echoey.
Well worth purchasing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hammy Horror, 17 Nov 2007

Bela Lugosi's Dad "Bela Lugosi's Dad" (Kent, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Horrors of Malformed Men [DVD] [1969] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Supposedly one of Japanese cinemas most notorious films (banned for more than 30 years!, Horror of Malformed Men suffers from a severe case of the Emperor's New Clothes. It's absolute tosh - the plot is too ridiculous and convoluted to even attempt to relate here but it involves lots of gratuitous female nudity, some terrible 'creature' effects (okay, this was made in the late 60's)and two laughable lead performances - particularly from the Dr Moreau like leader of the 'malformed men' who makes the Bela Lugosi stand-in in Plan 9 From Outer Space look like Laurence Olivier. Cultural differences notwithstanding, this is rubbish in any language.
