Ebola Syndrome
Directed by Herman Yau
Produced by Jing's Production Limited, Golden Harvest Productions
A transgressive exploitation horror-comedy that pairs graphic violence and sexual assault with darkly comedic tone, centered on a remorseless criminal weaponizing a pandemic.
A violent fugitive on the run from the law makes his way from Hong Kong to South Africa, where he discovers that he's immune to the Ebola virus, and later returns home to spread the deadly disease.
