Lame, don't believe the hype.........2007-06-21

I suppose if you were told this was real, and didn't have an "eye" (what a pun, eh?) for special effects.. you might see this and feel sick. But, come on.. where do I start on how fake this is? I know, I know, the whole story about the producer doing this as a remake of what he originally saw. If that's true, then I'd say the original is probably pretty sick and twisted.

But I'm talking about effects here that give it away.

For one thing, the blood. I grew up with chronic nose bleeds. I used to wake up in the middle of the night and find my pillow soaked in my own blood. So I know what blood looks like, both when fresh and after five minutes of drying time. It doesn't look like raspberry sno-kone syrup like in this flick. After more than five minutes it starts turning brown. By the end of this flick it would have coagulated into strands and looked almost black in many areas.

Another thing.. the cut-away edits that conveniently happen just before any real cutting occurs. Like the decapitation scene. Speaking of which, since when does decapitation cause a head to go flying like a basketball into a wall five feet away?

And then the whole eyeball thing. I once stayed up until 1a.m. removing an eyeball from a sheep that got hit by a car. I know from experience, it takes a hell of a long time to remove an eyeball without damaging it. The eyes in the jar were from a sheep, the one he pulls from the latex head was manufactured.

Then the disembowelment thing. Drugs or no drugs, without turniquettes she'd have bled off and died long before wincing while her leg was being sawed. But back to the guts.. do you know how much distance there is between even the upper-G.I. tract and the throat? You have to pass the stomache and go up the esophagus, then past the throat. YET.. here he is playing with intestines and she starts leaking pure, red blood out of her mouth for no damn reason other than dramatic effect.

Lame, lame, lame. Unless you come across it for free online (like I did), don't waste your money on this over-hyped flick. I'm not saying pulling off this finished product was easy. This guy had some talented people working with him to design these latex parts, pumps and the custom bed that allowed her real head to show while hiding her body.

One last minor detail.. the worms at the end of the flick in his 'collection' of body parts. If you watch the maggots, only in one scene are they actually feeding on an old piece of meat. The rest of the time they're traveling around looking for something besides latex and red sugar water. Also, the earthworms.. earthworms don't come oozing out of a skull that's been sitting there for weeks in a tumbled pile (on cue) all slimy.

Save your money, what you've imagined in your head is probably ten times worse than what they produced on film.

Disappointing.......2007-03-16

The reviewer crowsomething pretty much summarized it well- the victim should have died much quicker and lost buckets of blood - it just oozed out. The body parts looked rubbery. Did I miss something but how did her head go flying against the wall? And what's with the maggots and earthworms. Wouldn't the body parts have to decompose for at least a few days and then flies would have to come and lay eggs? The killer was kind of weak and dopey, as well.

I watched the video on the internet, i would say definitely don't buy it.

Gore goldmine!.......2007-03-02

This movie is short and sweet with some of the best special effects I've ever seen.If you want gore look no further!

If You've got a Stomach of Steel and Forty Minutes; Have I got a Movie for you........2007-01-29

If there's anything to take from this film (anyting at all)
it's perspective.
Take for instance, any given horror scene you've loved;
Because it's only on screen for a few seconds, it's enjoyable.
Now take that same cherished scene and slowly stretch it out for 40 minutes. That about sums up this gorefest.

With that being said, I had to watch this flick on the subway, on my way home from work. (Unfortunately, that's where I have to watch all the movies my wife refuses to watch with me.)
Now I couldn't hear the comments from my fellow commuters, but I could certainly see the horrified looks on their faces as the movie ran its course. And all those dropped jaws said "This guy is one sick puppy"
More than a few of them stood up and abandoned their seats.
Now if you know anything about City Subways, you know people wouldn't give up their seats, even if their pants were on fire.
At any rate, that anecdote should serve as a general idea of just how depraved this simulated snuff film is.

There's no plot, so don't expect one. (A guy in a samurai hat takes his sweet time cutting up some poor, unfortunate, Japanese chick; before adding her parts to his collection)
Instead; expect a torturous mutilation for about 40 minutes.
The mutilation itself wouldn't have been so unnerving, had it not been done at such a casual pace. The "Psycho Samurai" (as I've come to know him) takes his time doing everything.
From selecting his instruments of torture, to making his cuts, he's a man of leisure, a man whose got time on his hands.
All the while, he's talking philosophy, (like he's not some kabuki theatere reject in white face paint, and a black samurai hat, preaching in an abandoned warehouse basement)
I've got to say though, the scene where I actually had to pause the film for a breath of air, involved a hammer, a wedge, and a shoulder.
Now I don't know about you, but something about the sound of metal on bone makes me lose my cookies.
I must admit, the special effects were amazing.
The director definitely owned a genuine snuff film at one time or another. Because he is spot-on.

This film is a testament to depravity.
It's sole design is to freak you out and make you sick.
and to that end: Mission Accomplished. 5 Stars.
A fine addition to any gorehounds library.
Or any horror fan, for that matter, who thinks they have an iron-clad stomach. But be fore-warned this is the litmus test by which all other gross-out movies will be compared. This is the epitome of "gorefest".
(It's especially fun to freak company out with this little gem.)
Watch at you own risk. You've been warned.

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Sticks and Stones may break your bones,
but The Psycho Samurai prefers lille fun-size pieces.

"And now, her bowels start dancing wildly.".......2006-06-13

INTRODUCTION: When Guinea Pig came out in 1985, It was a huge straight to video hit in japan. There were 6 films and in 1991, Charlie Sheen saw Guinea Pig and reported it to the FBI, claiming it was a snuff film. THe FBI were informed that there was no snuff footage. in 2001, GP comes out on DVD.,

I had recently just rented this one (and Devil Doctor Woman) from a Japanese video store. And I loved it! I loved HE NEVER DIES, so I knew I was going to love this one.

STORY: A man captures a woman in the middle of the night. Later on, the woman wakes up in a blood splattered dungeon run by a a man dressed as a samurai with a white face. Slowly, this man dismembers and disbowels the woman to add to his collection.

THOUGHTS: An excellent splatter horror film. Just to let you know, there is a disclaimer at the beginning at the film saying that no one under the age of 15 should see it.

OVERALL: Go rent this movie!
