Ebola Syndrome (1996)
3 February 2004
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is about a Chinese employee Kai who has sex with his boss' wife and after boss catches them , Kai kills his boss with scissors and then cuts off his boss' wife tongue. Boss' little daughter witnesses all that. Kai is about to escape but he doesn't want anyone to know about what happened. So he ties little girl up and pours her with gas and is about to burn her. Suddenly a neighbor comes in , and Kai escapes.

10 years after we see Kai working as a waiter in a restaurant in South Africa . His new boss doesn't like him and his boss's wife is always mad at him. Some may feel sorry for Kai because he looks like he's been run over by a bulldozer. (I felt sorry for him) . One day Kai and his boss go to the jungle to buy some cheap pig meat for their restaurant from Zulu natives. There Kai gets to rape a Zulu girl who is infected with Ebola Virus. One night Kai gets so frustrated with his boss' wife that he rapes her and kills his new boss in a very violent way. Then he chops their corpses into meat and makes hamburgers of them. The next day Kai starts selling those infected hamburgers , infecting the whole city. Daughter of his old boss is also in that city as she realizes who is Kai and tells police about it. Kai takes his boss' money and goes back to Hong Kong. There he starts spreading the Ebola virus , intentionally infecting people around him.

Well this movie is not for everyone that's for sure. First half of them movie looks more like a horror/action , and second part like a thriller. But surprisingly this film has a plot. Its not a stupid gore fest .

Acting is not great which is obvious for `trash movies' , and for Japan/Chinese shock movies as well. Though our main hero Kai played by Anthony Wong , does a great job as a demented , infected employee. Some may hate him , some may feel sorry for him (I did). The movie itself is not very gory but it has its moments even in Cut version. Its more disgusting than gory. Some may need to have a barf bag near them , while watching this. This is shocking at some point but not as shocking as other Japan Shock movies. Still if ur a fan this is worth watching. Its not recommended for people who are not 18. And if you still decided to watch it , don't eat anything while watching.....
