English A would-be serious reflection on the story of a Japanese soldier/doctor in a military camp where atrocious medical experiments on humans are carried out. The screenplay offers up a dramatic storyline – the soldier’s love for a far-away girl – but its filming is so spasmodic and naïve that the movie is almost unwatchable. One star only for the hint of some sort of thought-provoking message. The repulsive scenes here are really and truly repulsive. ()

English "Hei tai yang 731 xu ji zhi sha ren gong chang" is a big disappointment for me and it just shows that some cults are created based on movies that don't deserve it at all. It could have been a time when there weren't so many similar movies, but I don't think so. Maybe the element of an experimental laboratory and those disgusting, but not so explicit experiments that happen here caught my attention. Otherwise, I can't really explain it. ()
