Description

After a defiled corpse is discovered in an abandoned building, Inspector Zhang recognizes the scene as being similar to other mutilated bodies that have been turning up in the area. Realizing that there is a deranged serial killer at large, Zhang's investigation soon leads him to a local brothel run by the headstrong Madame Lan, which appears to be the killer’s hunting ground. While public suspicion soon falls on a recently released-from-prison necrophile, Zhang is unconvinced, believing that the killer and their motive are hiding in plain sight.

Directed by horror maestro Chih-Hung Kuei (Hex, The Boxer's Omen), CORPSE MANIA masterfully fuses Shaw Brothers’ well-regarded dramatic period pieces with the structure and style of the Italian giallo, offering foggy streets, gelled lighting, and grisly murders perpetrated by a black-clad killer. Moving from twist to twist and sure to leave viewers squirming in horror all the way to the end, Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present this essential Hong Kong horror on UHD, newly restored in 4k from its original camera negative, packed with extras, and featuring all the maggot-covered corpses one could ask for.

    Extra vile in 4K

    A haunted house of rotting gore. Repulsive in its splendid beauty, but ultimately too gross and slasher-inflected for me to rate it any higher.

    Foggy Jack the Ripper streets in a rural Chinese village leave as lasting an impression as corpses crawling with maggots.

    The crazy directorial range of Kuei Chih-hung continues to surprise me. Follows the gorgeous and similarly shot and coloured shadows of Killer Constable the year prior.

    4K really heightens the quality of light in the visuals.

    This was an interesting one

    This was an interesting one because I assumed based on the title that it would be more over the top than it is. It has a good plot with a solid cast and I enjoyed the blend of whodunit mixed with gore, I just wish it leaned more into the crazier aspects. The slipcover art on the cover looks terrific by the way and really stands out.
