Watch it at Amazon
A long time ago, I set out to see every gory movie ever. I went from Bad Taste to Premutos to Riki-Oh to Dead Alive and on and on and... well, after Dead Alive, I'd basically had my fill. There was a movie that was hilarious and well-made and -- oh yeah -- REALLY gory. After that, I noticed more and more in so-called "gore films" that directors just went the extra mile to try to shock people. A lot of these films are all about the gore and the effects, and they convey absolutely nothing. I learned that gore does not necessarily equal a good film. And even though there are still kids out there who say "OH I GOTTA SEE THIS FILM CUZ IT'S GORY!!!!!!", most are quickly shut up after seeing Dead Alive. Most of those kids will now say, "Oh, I heard this film is gory, but is it actually worth watching?" And with this "gore film", I can safely say that there is no reason to ever watch it.A lot of the reviewers on this site gave this bad reviews and say that the film is shocking and offensive and unwatchable because of the rapes and infant murder and so on. However, none of that shocked me or repelled me; rather, it bored me to tears. There was pretty much no plot, which is okay (most slasher films are basically plot less), but there was... well, there wasn't much of anything really. It was just "disturbing scene" after "disturbing scene", with Nazi footage thrown in for fun. Yawn. So, yeah, gore for gore's sake. Wasn't this kind of stuff already done in the Guinea Pig series? My suggestion to the filmmakers is to take all the money they earned from this stupid hype campaign and actually invest in writing a decent script. Throw in some actual characterization. Then, it's safe to go ahead and throw in buckets of gore. A film without any real characterization means I don't care about any of the characters or what happens to them, and this all really was just an excuse to throw gore at the screen. Just kind of a lame experience all the way around and easily avoided. Good soundtrack and decent cinematography notwithstanding, this is one of the most pointless films in history and totally skippable.
