'731': Chilling WWII Thriller Trailer Unleashed

Well Go USA has revealed a new official trailer for the Chinese film 731, also known as Evil Unbound, depicting the true story of the Japanese Unit 731 at the end of WWII in China. The film is set to open in theaters in the US and China in the coming weeks.

Set against the backdrop of bacterial experiments conducted by the Japanese Imperial Army’s Unit 731 in Northeast China, the film reveals the crimes of Unit 731 through the fate of an ordinary individual. Based on true events during WWII in Northeast China, an ordinary man is thrust into a horrible fate during the inhumane experiments conducted by the Japanese’s notorious Unit 731. The film stars Wu Jiang, Zhiwen Wang, Naiwen Li, Qian Sun, and Ziye Lin.

The story focuses on the Japanese Army’s Unit 731 in Harbin’s Pingfang District on the eve of victory in the War of Resistance in 1945. Under the guise of “water supply & epidemic prevention,” this unit carried out bacteriological warfare research and slaughtered civilians through human experimentation. The film depicts the suffering, awakening, and indomitable resistance of ordinary people in the torrent of war through the tragic ordeal of innocent civilians such as street vendor Wang Yongzhang, who were deceived, captured, imprisoned, and reduced to inhumane subjects of live experiments.

731, also with the English title Evil Unbound, and titled 731: 生化启示录 or 疯狂731 in Mandarin, is written and directed by Chinese filmmaker Linshan Zhao, director of the film The Assassins with Chow Yun-Fat. It’s produced by Hong Wang, Zhuang Yan, and Wang Zhang. Well Go USA will release Linshan Zhao’s 731 film in select US theaters at the same time as it opens in China, starting on September 19th, 2025.
