Hm what about it..?
I wouldn't call Men Behind the Sun a horror film anyway. I was thinking about this the other day and while the film has some "horror ingredients", the intention is completely different.
Horror films are made ultimately for entertainment - this film on the other hand is intended to record and inform the world about atrocities at Unit 731 in Japan during the closing years of WW2. As such it's more properly a historical film and I'd feel uncomfortable even thinking of it as entertainment.
For me most of the effects were too OTT and unconvincing, so that while watching it I had to keep reminding myself that I was watching a portrayal of real events that happened to real people.
By the way it's a Chinese film so doesn't belong in this thread.
