Masterful Movie
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
View MoreAs a huge fan of horror films, especially J-horror and also gore i thought Nekeddo burâddo sounded pretty good. I researched the plot, read reviews, and even looked at some photos to make sure it seemed like a good gory and scary movie to watch before downloading it. So excited it had finished and ready to be scared and recoiling in horror at the amazing gore i was expecting i was terribly disappointed. The plot was ridiculous and didn't even make sense and left too much unexplained, the gore was hilarious rather then horrifying, and what was with the cartoon style sound effects ? The acting was probably the only thing mildly scary about it. I did not understand the cactus idea and the way the mothers husband disappeared in the middle of the sea after following a flashing light, they left both pretty unexplained, or perhaps i missed it as my mind couldn't understand what i was actually seeing. I appreciate the way it was supposed to be; shocking and a few scenes (the strange cannibalism and own mother kissing?)certainly were, i just think they went a little bit far and not even in a horrifying way, they made it to unconvincing which made it more believable to be a comedy rather than a horror in my opinion. However it is a very entertaining film and got a lot of laughs out of me and a couple of friends, but sadly we were expecting horror not comedy so its worth a watch for the entertainment value, but don't be expecting a dark, deeply scary and horrifying film; you'll just be disappointed. If this was a horror comedy/spoof i'd probably rate it about a nine, the climax being the weird scene when the husband climbed inside his wife's stomach and closed up her wounds, but as a horror sadly i gave it a one.
View MoreThere are some films I've put off viewing for a long time as I've been informed they contain material that is simply too strong, too offensive to be tolerated. One of these films is "Naked Blood". Imagine my surprise, then, when I finally sat down to watch the recent US release of this cult movie last night and found the film to be both intelligent and well-made. Yes, it contains some graphic scenes but they need to be put in context with what else is contained within the horror genre. While some of the scenes in "Naked Blood" are, I believe, unique, there's nothing here that will corrupt the viewer or overwhelm him / her with its content. In terms of violence, the bloodshed in "Naked Blood" is no worse than many other underground horror films.What "Naked Blood" delivers is a thoughtful, almost fly-on-the-wall, unfolding of events as a young doctor's son, Sadao Abe, creates an antidote to pain. When he tampers with his mother's experiment by including his special pain-relieving fluid with her new contraceptive, things go very wrong, very fast.I knew details of most of the horrific scenes before I watched "Naked Blood" but the movie did contain a few surprises. The effects work is excellent but the film succeeds because of its atmosphere and performances rather than elements of "gross out" horror.Even with its bizarre ending, I enjoyed "Naked Blood" and would recommend it to genre fans.7 out of 10.
View MoreA teen scientist spikes the medicine his mother is testing on young woman and the result is gruesome death, for the drug turns pain into the highest pleasure and it doesn't take a clever mind what happens next.This is a slow movie that takes a while to get going. The drug takes a while to react, and the once it does the women infected by it self-mutilate horribly. Even though the effects are not the best at times this is a profoundly disturbing film with several images that will haunt you long after the film.Despite the gore, there appears to be a point about medicine and research and pain and pleasure, but the slowness and the grossness over whelm the film. In a twisted way I'm glad I saw it, but I don't need to see it again.5 out of 10 ---- but if you can't stand blood stay miles away from this film.
View MoreCertain parts of this movie seemed amateurish and silly (The windex-esque 'my son' elixir, as well as his "Doogie Hauser like diary entries and his very adult sex scene toward the end... previously we were led to believe he was a precocious, bicycle riding teenager until he demonstrates the 'lotus' from the Kama Sutra! haha) ) while other aspects seemed surprisingly believable and well done. (the F/X and some of the dialog) The premise of someone trying to invent a better painkiller to reverse discomfort is certainly realistic, and it's also quite true that pain and pleasure are closely linked in the brain as evident by masochists. I have no idea how they achieved some of the 'goretastic' effects in this film but I am impressed, especially with the eyeball scene. How the hell did they do that? It looks totally real. (Maybe the girl has an artificial eye??? LOLI really liked the surreal elements toward the end (Climbing into the wound) although I confess I'm not sure what transpired in some cases. (The end.. what was that all about?) Ultimately I wanted to get across that the incredible gore and self mutilation in this film are not it's only 'positive' merits. (Although I doubt many people wouldn't cringe during some of the mutilation scenes....There almost seems to be a cautionary tale being told here.... (and that being possibly: "Boy geniuses have no business squirting windex looking wonder drugs into his mother's medical experiments, even if he is convinced he has cured pain forever.)
