Ebola Crapola?

Nope! What a crazy flick!

Anthony Wong (Untold Story, Infernal Affairs) is back again as a crazy, sick son of a bitch. He plays Kai, an ugly, dirty, rapist/murderer....he's good at that role. Kai is the workhorse for a restaurant he works at. The boss and bosses wife treat him pretty poorly, he stands for it long enough and eventually does what he does best. Along the way he ends up getting infected by the Ebola Syndrome. A disease which makes infected people shake uncontrollably, and eventually makes their organs turn to mush. One in 10 million people that become infected are able to just be a carrier and not die from it. What happens when you have a murder/rapist who carries the Ebola virus around?

This movie is definitely not for everyone, but HOLY JEEZ, if you like CAT III flicks, or gross/weird/violent movies, there is really little reason for you to dislike this film. For fans of extreme cinema this is really a must see. And if you don't like it.....bully for you!
