10 Movies With Creepy On-Set Stories

10. Live Rats Set On Fire & A Real Child's Corpse Is Used - Men Behind The Sun

Yeah, this is pretty much the only screenshot of the film we could find that didn't make us want to hurl, so if you haven't seen T. F. Mou's nauseating World War II horror film, count yourselves lucky. The movie depicts the horrors of the Japanese Unit 731, where vile biological experiments were performed on prisoners of war, such as, perhaps most memorably, throwing a guy into a decompression chamber and watching his intestines fly out of his a**. However, that was just a special effect, so there's no story, right? Wrong. Other infamous scenes include live rats being set on fire, and a young boy being drugged and autopsied, and you know what? They're both real. Rats were actually set on fire, and the autopsy footage is reportedly of a boy who had recently died at a local hospital. Though both the legality and moral fiber of what Mou did are totally questionable, it's hard to argue with the effectiveness of his method: both scenes are startlingly authentic, and do in a sense add to the abject horror of the piece. Plus, on another level, it's a fantastic monument to pre-political correctness filmmaking. You just wouldn't see something like this done nowadays.
