The opening credits are beautifully done, but that is the only good point in the whole movie. Choose something else to watch!

A Japanese take on Island of Doctor Moreau. Can’t say I enjoyed it.

What an odd but strangely captivating movie. I spend two years in Tokyo and two things I know to be true. Japanese women almost always have the most beautiful breasts…. even after having several children… and Japanese women LOVE LOVE LOVE blonde haired men. It’s something they don’t see very often, like it’s almost taboo or something… and they’re infatuated by it.

A strange vintage Japanese movie, but definitely not so f*cked up…
