    Insane, twisted, sick, gross, outrageous, perverted, racist, vile, mysoginist, vulgar, offensive, low, demented, crude, evil in it's purest form.






    And yet.......i loved every minute of it. I guess i'm going to hell for this.

    If you could physically grasp insanity, juice it, distill it, and then press it into a DVD, Ebola Syndrome is what would be on it. Complete madness from start to finish, you just have to see this to believe it.

    Hahaha. I miss CAT III movies like this.

    Really a rather horrible experience for the most part with little value, other than to show the character in deplorable acts and to push the envelope. An envelope filled with terrible actions, and little redeeming value.
    Is this a good thing or a bad thing? It's up to you?
    I'm ...( read more)a huge horror fan, and a fan of any film that tries to break through borders, and I have definitely seen films that have show worse things, yet this film seemed to have nothing behind it, only situations created to further disgust the viewer, which done right can be great, yet this film was missing something.
    Even with all this is manages to get pretty dull, but picks up at the end to deliver an amazing final 20 or so minutes that make this film worth watching. Unfortunately, the amazing finally does not raise the rest of the film to decency.
    I would say this should only be watched as a CAT III curio, and nothing more. If you don't know what CAT III is, you probably won't be interested in this ordeal.

    Nobody plays a better sleazy scumbag than Anthony Wong. His character fucks meat, rapes native Africans carrying the ebola virus, kills his employer and turns his body into hamburger meat, and after catching ebola himself he attempts to infect everybody with the virus by spitting...( read more) his blood on them. And he's an enjoyable fellow to follow on his journey of grotesque hilarity. Buckets of sleaze and gore, the Chinese were pretty goddamn good at these films in the early nineties and this I'd say is the pinnacle of their filth.

    I remember searching for sick and controversial movies and this one popped up. I thought I would never be able to see it what with the cheap and tacky cover, but when I finally obtained it, I LOOOOOVED it.

    Twisted movie, with relentless insanity. Anthony Wong goes bananas and hi...( read more)s character I want to marry. Great premise, opening and ending.

    The guy in this film is so horrible. He suddenly goes to Africa and rapes some girl who is obviously very diseased, then he goes back home and runs around killing people and cooking them into Ebola infested meat patties and feeding them to people. Yeah, it's pretty terrible.

    An interesting experience as we see the entire film through the eyes of Anthony Wong's Kai character, who is a completely reprehensible asshole, a murderer and a rapist who at first doesn't even know that he's infected and spreading this disease, then seems to revel in it.

    Gooey...( read more), splattery effects go for the gross out most of the time, but overall it's just a grimy feeling that you get watching this unpleasant guy go about his life.

    Worth a rental for fans of the more extreme side of things.

    BAD DIRECTED, HORRIBLE ACTING.

    A MOVIE JUST TO SHOCK, IT DOESNT WORK FOR ME
