Description
Pure evil exists. It lives in Hanoi, in a small house that has been converted into an operating-theatre-cum-torture-chamber. Here, patients are cut up into bite-size pieces by a cannibalistic doctor and his taciturn sidekick. The feature debut of Lê Binh Giang takes the body-horror genre to new heights. 'Bizarre' would be an understatement for this out-of-control orgy of revenge.
