Have seen this flick mentioned on the forum a couple of times within the last few weeks.  I know that a local video store carries it, and was wondering if it is even worth seeing?

After reading just exactly how brutal it is, it has gotten my curiousity peaked.  Rent?  Yes?  No?

I read several things about each film in this series on the IMDB....yes there are 3 or 4 of them I think.
I haven't seen any of them but I've heard that they're horribly sadistic and definite stomach churners that are set in a Japanese prison camp.

Maybe someday I'll check them out...I just haven't been able to find them anywhere near where I live.

I suspect that they'd be something that I'd have to get on E-bay or some other online site.
But I don't want to own them....I just want to rent them.

I bought a dupe VHS copy about 12 years ago.  The version I have (somewhere in my house, in a box or something) is subtitled.  It has some extreme gore, which can be disturbing from time to time.  I also have MEN BEHIND THE SUN PART II.  Both are really similar.  I would say they are definitely worth renting if you're in the mood for a subtitled gore fest.

I've heard these are pretty gory....I remember reading one review of it from a guy who usually likes stuff like the cannibal flicks, but he said this one was too much for him.    I've never seen it--I can barely handle the animal deaths in the cannibal movies but these are supposedly a lot worse.

It sounds like one of the reasons this gets to people is because it was based on true events.

Read the same review as ASHTHECAT. Sounds genuinely creepy. Adding it to my list.

i saw it a long time ago and i admit it's worth renting if even just for morbid curiousity. a lot of the gore and torture scenes were fake and i had already heard so much about that i was prepared going into it so it didn't shock me so bad. at the end it seemed like a propagandha type film because i can't see any reason why else they would want to make something like it's nature, well i guess to shock people too.

the scene that always sticks in my head is when they threw this white cat in a huge room filled with black as night rats, sick stuff!
