In this tale of madness, young medical student Hirosuke assumes the identity of a dead man in order to solve the mystery of a weird doppleganger whose obituary he spies in a newspaper. Traveling from circus sideshows to a cursed and isolated island, he discovers a web-fingered madman who surgically remakes normal human beings into misshapen monsters. But that is only the beginning, for Hirosuke has yet to learn the shocking truth about the island and his own family's shameful past. (official distributor synopsis)

English The Japanese film Horror of a Deformed Man surprises with the way it is shot and the scenes that appear therein. It is as if a strange madness was concentrated and made a movie. This is a film that doesn't make sense at first glance, but turns out not to be so crazy after all. This is a very good piece of work that isn't for everyone, but it's a great way to tap into your darker side. ()
