Why? Why why why why why does this movie exist? In what possible world did anyone think that this movie would be at all acceptable to film? I shouldn't say movie, it besmirches the name of the great art form of the twentieth century. For this is not a movie. It desperately wants to be a snuff film; the connotations of that are more disturbing than the events recorded on film. Here is the plot: a man chloroforms a woman. He dresses in a samurai outfit and proceeds to cut her into pieces. No names. No reasons. No other plot. Just disgusting, artless violence. This "thing" is highly hyped in the disturbing movies scene. That is the only reason I came to it. It appears on many lists of the most disturbing movies ever, and in fact, there is probably no other way that anyone would come to this. All those lists are wrong. a) As I said before, this isn't a movie and b) it is not at all disturbing. It is gross, oh yes. Our closing shots are of severed limbs being feasted on by maggots. A chicken is decapitated and its blood is spilled all over our victim. We see dismemberment in gory detail. Close ups of tendons snapping etc, etc. It would be hypocritical of a exploitation lover like myself to continue. Suffice to say that people searching for blood and guts will get far, far to much. And that is it. But I have a feeling that even they will be turned away. You see, this is not an exploitation splatter picture. Those have a place in a cinema.The only place where this film belongs is in the basement of a serial killer, surrounded by the probably more artistic, actual snuff films of their own creation. This is the lowest of the low. There is no excuse for it. The world would be better if no one else watched it.
