Jintai-mokei no yuru

Still another one of those Japanese flicks that hasn't got a proper release at this writing. It's only available on VHS so far and if you want to catch it you will need your network to catch a copy. Of course it's available on the forbidden way with English subs but the real stuff is hard to get. Having build a network I was able to get me the official release on TOEI Video label. Most of Japanese sellers don't ship outside Japan especially when nudity do appear on the VHS or DVD cover.

Even as it is spoken in Japanese you will easily get the picture. When a woman moves in to an apartment she doesn't get the picture that it is full of strange people. Her neighbour is listening through the walls with special devices what she is doing and he develops an intense empathy with everything she does and feels. His devices becoming more complex as he is having more and more the same feelings she does. But there are other weirdos in the apartment. Taking the elevator she come across a scientist father and son. They also interact with her. The son has an unhealthy fetish for his father's prosthetic arm, and an obsession over medical mannequins and artificial body parts. But not only people are strange, even in her apartment things are strange. Her food dispenser seems to have a life of its own. Her dreams do become strange and eventually even become bloodier.

A weird story that you will be locked on the screen. Don't worry, when strange things happen mostly it's unspoken. There's also one scene where she's making love and yes, it's blurred but there's enough nudity in it and intestines and red stuff to make it a hunt worthy. Also because it was directed by Hisayasu Sato, maker of the cilt classic Naked Blood (1996).
