Horrors Of Malformed Men

Horrors Of Malformed Men

Zavvi

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 asylum in which he has been wrongfully confined and stealthily assumes the identity of a recently deceased nobleman with whom he bears an uncanny resemblance. Hirosuke eases his way into the nobleman s household and his dead double s marital bed. But as long-repressed memories begin to bubble to the surface, he soon finds himself drawn to a remote isle where he is confronted by a mad scientist and his malformed men, and discovers the key that will unlock some long-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 Malformed Men boasts astonishing carnivalesque art design and haunting performances. Withdrawn from cinemas by its own studio after its original scandalous release nearly fifty years ago, the film is among the very best screen interpretations of the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.SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS:Brand new 2K restoration of the film from the original negativeHigh Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentationUncompressed mono 1.0 PCM audioNewly translated optional English subtitlesTwo audio commentaries by Japanese cinema experts Tom Mes and Mark SchillingMalformed Movies: a new video interview with Toei exploitation movie screenwriter Masahiro KakefudaMalformed Memories: Filmmakers Shinya Tsukamoto (Tetsuo the Iron Man) and Minoru Kawasaki (The Calamari Wrestler) on the career of director Teruo IshiiIshii in Italia: Ishii and Mark Schilling visit the Far East Film FestivalImage GalleryTheatrical trailerReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Dan Mumford
