A negative review here because the film is repulsive, ghastly or strange is inappropriate. Most persons who saw this film knew its substance beforehand and what they were getting themselves into. I feel for the rare person who did not. Yikes... The film was specifically designed to shock and pervert, just like other films in the gore-horror genre. Tom Six should, in fact, be credited for creating a product as original and intriguing as it was over-the-top and cheesy. The novelty alone is exploration worthy.
The film's undoing, however, is the lazy and paltry writing. The inability to tell a coherent story around this experiment, especially the what and why, is beyond frustrating. For example, we never learn why the madman is actually engaging in this experiment. Why mouth-to-anus? We are simply forced to conclude that he is either insane or has a god complex - both lazy cop-outs.
