Shocking! The real picture of hell! I’ve been asked by Synpase / Panik House to write the liner notes for their upcoming DVD release of the legendary banned-in-Japan Teruo Ishii film Edogawa Ranpo Zenshu: Kyofu Kikei Ningen [aka Horror Of The Malformed Men]. The disc will be released in the US on August 28th. In the meantime, here’s the trailer - in exciting bootleg vision - to get you all ero-guro with anticipation.
is Panik House still around? I heard rumors that they had to declare bankrupcy because Best Buy returned a lot of unsold pinky violence box sets.

Is this the Japanese equivalent of "Blood Feast?"

More like Tod Browning's FREAKS as performed by an avant-garde troupe of Butoh dancers.

Parts of the trailer remind me of the work of José Mojica Marins (aka Coffin Joe). Any smoking butts in the film?
