Men Behind the Sun1988
“Awful, bloody, sick and… true!”
Directed by Mou Tun-Fei
The premise
Japanese troops round up Chinese and Russian prisoners of war and take them to unit 731, where they're horribly tortured and experimented on to test new biological weapons.
Horror Vault's take
Based on the real-world horrors of Imperial Japan's Unit 731, this notorious Category III film plunges viewers into one of history's darkest chapters. Chinese and Soviet prisoners find themselves at the mercy of military scientists conducting brutal biological and medical experiments in the name of wartime research. Director T.F. Mous renders the subject matter with extreme, unflinching detail that has made this one of the most notorious and controversial exploitation films ever committed to celluloid. It sits at an uncomfortable crossroads between historical document and visceral horror — not easily forgotten, and not easily watched.
