Synopsis

A physician's X-ray vision knowledge of human anatomy — or, the power of an individual armed with such knowledge — can be frightening sometimes. Following the legacy of its numerous disaster movie predecessors featuring a doctor/conspirator, Doctor Hell, the Movie showcases a gynecologist with insane ambition of becoming the sole ruler of the world. His desire and madness drive him to wield his power to turn the reality into a sheer hell. Obsessed with his own scheme of mass-producing "compliant" human beings by administering drugs to them, the doctor unleashes an apocalyptic Hades world, loaded, rather unconventionally, with blatant B-class cinematic taste, exaggeration and mockery as well as assortments of "genre-tasting" gigs, ranging from science fiction to black comedy to medical thriller to cheap action to grotesque horror to, even melodrama.
