I watched this movie on a whim during a marathon of mostly-trashy horror films. I went into it expecting an over-the-top splatter flick, and while it definitely has some gore, I think there's more humour here than anything.The plot is simple, and the IMDb blurb sums it up well. A really sleazy character rapes someone with Ebola, becomes a carrier, and winds up infecting people as he goes about his sleazy routine. Kai is an awful character, but I mean that in the best way, and Anthony Wong's performance is top notch. You'll love to hate him.The special effects are well done. The acting, the camera work, and the music all felt just right; nothing struck me as jarring or out of place. The dialogue and the circumstances the characters wind up in are often hilarious, and that's where the movie really shined in my eyes.It's trashy, it's most likely gross by many folks' standards, but I loved it. It's more grounded that some of the wackier splatter films, but if you get a kick out of twisted humour, this is well worth a watch.

I skimmed across a review for this after watching Contagion and decided to have a butchers at the 'Uncut' version...Boy, was I in for a surprise! I haven't laughed so much watching a movie for years! HAHA!! This film is SO tacky & unbelievable that it's very good & watchable (like Sunset Beach) and the script (subtitled) was classic. The swearing is just right and in the right places..and often unexpected lol I have to say though, the film was fantastic until he went back to HK..then it kinda died down in the comedy but rose again towards the end, at least for me.Coarse, vulgar, graphic, depraved, no holds barred..if only there were more films like this out there! (I will be sure never to try 'Frog Rice' in my life! EWWW!!!)

This film is a great portrayal of our wonderful "anti-hero" Kai and his exploits. A truly sleazy, disgusting, foul person that we almost learn to love throughout the film.While I don't consider this too over the top with the gore, it is rather gory. But the almost comical aspect of it kind of detracts from the sick nature of this film. Even the rape scenes get almost comical. Whether it's a bad translation or not, there's a certain scene where our anti-hero is raping his bosses wife and the boss steps in to find them. Then Kai says "From now on I'm going to F*** anyone that bullies me". Then the wife says "He's bullying me!!". Absolutely classic.And this is just one aspect of sleaze from our very lovable yet disgustingly sick anti hero Kai.He's the kind of character that I simply love in exploitation movies. If you enjoy cheese, gore, silly dialog, and killing, please check this movie out. If you want an Oscar winning performance, look elsewhere.Nine stars!!

Lurid, probably offensive tale of a guy who kills a family then flees when he is about to set the daughter on fire. Years later the grown-up girl meets the guy in South Africa complicating his life. As the guys life begins to spiral out of control he unknowingly contracts Ebola which he then proceeds to pass on a large number of people. (Good taste and the IMDb guidelines prevent me from going into more detail, but trust me its nasty) This is a really sick and twisted movie which is oddly enjoyable in a "I can't believe people made this" sort of way. Far from a movie for all audiences, keep the kids away, this is a movie for those who like exploitation films heavily laced with sex and blood. I like that sort of thing when well done, as it is here, so I'm in the group that thinks this is a gross out exploitation classic. Others maybe running for the hills not long after this film starts.The best way to know if this film is even a remote possible viewing choice for you, ask yourself how you feel about a movie called Ebola Syndrome. If the thought of a movie with that title peaks your interest then see this film, just be ready for a wild ride. If the idea scares you stay away.
