Cyclops

The 1987 splatter classic of Japanese V-Cinema, on Blu-ray for the first time ever. A secret team of scientists has crossed the line between medicine and madness, implanting embryos into human hosts in a series of hideous experiments designed to create a new form of life. But when their latest subject takes her own life before giving birth, the operation spirals into desperation. Accompanied by a malformed cyclops mutant as muscle, the researchers descend into the city in search of a new victim--dragging an unsuspecting young woman into a nightmare of medical horror that degenerates into a frenzy of deformed flesh, slimy transformations and mutant showdowns. Emerging from Japan's late-'80s direct-to-video boom, Cyclops stands as an early, unhinged entry in the country's underground splatter movement. Directed by Jōji "George" Iida in his debut, the film fuses Cronenberg-style body horror with low budget V-cinema rawness -- building methodically before erupting into a chaotic finale packed with grotesque practical effects and full-throttle gore. A lean, mean descent into pure biological terror, it's a classic cult relic of experimental Japanese horror at its most hardcore and bizarre.
