Valok P 06/29/2023 Its focus is beyond interesting; the horrors behind Unit 731, and while it does detail much about the gruesome antics, (It is 4 hours, afterall) it more so focuses on the gore than the whys of the gore. The bursts of violence are shocking and bloody, but this doesn't warrant a watch. See more 02/01/2014 Worthless film, no use to humanity whatsoever. See more 01/12/2014 Boring and not scary....a total misfire. See more 12/18/2013 Horror folk, if you haven't seen this one, you should. It's grueling and gruesome and based in real testimony of U731 doctors and survivors. See more 08/27/2013 I can´t believe that people are disappointed for have not seen 'violence or terror". For God´s sake. there was a thousands people who suffered the worst pain who we can imagine, and the people said "boring"...Boring? Ask for that people if it was boring...Great movie and great denouncement. See more 05/08/2012 Fascinating "documentary" about Unit 731. Brilliant sound and video editing. Part documentary and part re-inactment. Very done well. Good special effects. Amazing that a lot of our medical references today come from what was done at that camp. See more Read all reviews
