An over the top piece of splatter cinema laced with off the wall humour, and a wildly entertaining, ninety-eight minute long sick joke, which is amongst the genre's best.

Rated: 5/5

The horrid acting and paper thin story are forgivable only for the hilarity with which it's presented.

Rated: 2.5/5

Como trash assumido, tem seus bons momentos de sangue e humor - este último vindo principalmente das péssimas atuações.

An odd film that uses a sort of comedy style of editing, audio and dialogue to tell its main character Kai's story. We follow the sex obsessed psychopathic killer as he works his way through various odd jobs from hong Kong to south Africa and back leaving a wake of death everywhere he goes. Featuring overtly shocking scenes of gore, live animal mutilation, cannibalism rape and of course Ebola. It was far more compelling than I'd hoped! This film is everything you cant do in hollywood 2023 wrapped in a fresh virus blood bag filled package. So refreshing! B movie trash at its best.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It's wildly offensive and bugnuts crazy. This is the kind of splatter trash that you only get into if you have sickest sense of humor. If you do though, there is off the wall insanity here to have fun with.

I know it sounds funny, but I expected more from this. The movie is about a murderer on the run who finds a place in South Africa and works there as a chef in a restourant. One day as he was buying some pig with his boss from one of the African tribes he, well, rapes a woman and gets ebola. Apparentely, he's one in ten million who have ebola, but are not affected by it, meaning he is a carrier of the syndrome. What follows is some really disgusting, messed up stuff followed by some more disgusting and messed up stuff. Which I don't mind, but it's not done very well in this movie. There's a comedic tone over the whole film and makes the movie look even more ridiculous. The acting is okay, but the voices are weird. I don't know which version I watched, but it seemed to be dubbed, but it was still in Chinese, so I'm confused. Anyways, the story seemed interesting, but the execution was bad. I can't say much more about this film. It's not really good, but makes for an interesting watch.
