After having killed his lover and her husband, a sleazeball namedAh Kai (Anthony Wong) leave Hong Kong to go in South Africa as a fugitive. After a while, he find a hiding place and a job in a restaurant managed by a young couple. But after having a sexual relation with a young african girl contaminated with the deadly Ebola virus, Ah Kai get sick and raped the restaurant owner's wife before killing both of them. He get rid of the (infected) corpses by turning them into meat that he will use for hamburgers. From then on, the Ebola virus is on the loose... What a "sick" film. A cross between OUTBREAK and the classic THE UNTOLD STORY (also directed by Yau), EBOLA SYNDROME was a breath of fresh air after having seen to many YOUNG AND DANGEROUS clones. It's not as shocking as THE UNTOLD STORY was but it's definitely more disgusting. Both the directing and acting are OK. Anthony Wong does a good job but I don't think he will get any awards for this one . My only complaint is that there is to many similarity with THE UNTOLD STORY (even the music and the sets are similar), but beside that this film is a lot of "fun". Highly recommended to any fans of the genre!
