Ebola Sy ndrom

1996?-Horror/Grindhouse
Chinese

First off; This film CANNOT be 1996, the style, clothing and even the Actor (Anthony Wong) is too young to be this recent. This is a time paradox that i care not research this anytime soon.
Second; I was in the whole 'Asian Shock Cinema' like a few months ago, so this whole movie arrived way too late and out from nowhere, if anything I've been into Barbaric films.
Third; I watched this film expecting far worse and am not 'New' to the 'Asian Shock' genre, so this isn't going to be a rant on how 'New' this is to me, I've seen images and theories far beyond most men.

Synopsis:
It all started one fortunate evening with the bosses Wife that led him to a triple Murder/Homicide. Wong flees Hong Kong and ends up as a waiter/cook in South Africa attempting to start anew, but carrying the same old vices. One day upon visiting an African Village he contracts Ebola and becomes a Typhoid Mary of some sort and is the key person on creating an Ebola outbreak in South Africa and Hong Kong.

All-in-All:
Again, Its nothing new to me seeing mutilation and rape, or even corps rap, but this film fits the bill. Its almost safe to say that the writers/directors designed this film to be Shock after Shock and fit a story in between. The characters were out of place (note the plot concerning the survived daughter and abruptly ends or the last min. addition of a 'Love' character for Wong), and no development other than proving that Wong is a Corps Rapist and Bloody Bastard. This was a headache to view and just when his antics of masturbating on a slab of meat he shaped to a vagina listening to his bosses sexual intimacy or cooking Ebola riddled victims as hamburger patties the story/plot in between these scenes were dull and just plain retarded. Keep away at all cost no matter how awesome the cover may seem.

Riko's Rating: F-
