To crib a line from the Suspiria poster, the only thing weirder than the first 60 minutes of Horrors of Malformed Men are the last 39! This horrific Japanese take on The Island of Dr. Moreau opens in an insane asylum, shifts into a bizarre body-swap sex comedy, and then transforms again into a monstrous psychedelic freakout that would make Coffin Joe and Jodorowsky proud. To create this unholy creature, director Teruo Ishii (Blind Woman’s Curse, Orgies of Edo) combines several short stories from famed Japanese horror writer Edogawa Ranpo, whose “ero-guro” (erotic grotesque) style is on full, freaky display in the film. See it with a crowd, if only to confirm that you didn’t hallucinate it.
