Toilet Review: I’m not even sure what this movie should be classified as. It’s not a horror and it certainly isn’t a thriller. Perhaps torture porn suits best?
Given the month that it is in it, I decided to watch a whole bunch of horror movies over the past couple of days, so be prepared for that. On my trawling through movie forums to try and find something original, and chatting with co-workers, this movie was recommended to me. So, I duly plopped it on, and sat my cute butt down to enjoy what I thought was gonna be some sweet Japanese horror.
Boy was I wrong!
My husband didn’t even make it past the opening titles. To be fair though, the movie opens with the violent beating and rape of a prostitute, and our “hero” masturbating to it. The title screen forms out of his sperm as it drips off a plastic plant. So you know this movie is going to go all types of weird places.
To be honest though, I thought the gore was over done. It certainly lost it’s shock value on me after the second time we see Kakihara butcher a man. When there is SO much gore, and there is a LOT of gore and bloody death in this movie, whatever shock value it was meant to have deteriorates and then I am forced to enjoy the story, which is pretty non- existent in this movie.
Something about a missing mob boss, a boatload of money, and a man hell bent on crafting a master assassin. I’m not too sure on the details, because once you strip away the blood, all you are left with is a flimsy movie with little to no plot and a whole lot of sado-masochism.
I wouldn’t even bother watching this if I were you. Unless you want to see some pretty cool horror special effects, then go right ahead!
