Naked Blood

A young genius develops a new wonder drug called 'Myson' which turns pain into pleasure - the more pain, the more pleasurable it becomes. His mother works at a local hospital and uses three women to conduct experiments on birth control. Unbeknownst to them, the son adds his new wonder drug to the other drugs and the three women become his experiment.

One of the women fries her hand, but it feels good and she then cannot stop hurting herself as it gives her more and more pleasure. Things get very messy as she cuts off her nipple and gouges out her eye and eats it!! She eventually kills herself.

Another cannot stop piercing herself and cutting herself. It soon becomes apparent that this drug is a nightmare - the victims can't stop butchering themselves.

There are several clever subplots but the real outstanding thing about this film is the gore - it's right up there with the best of the 'Guinea Pig' series and quite unlike anything you've seen before.

Highly recommended - if you call yourself a hardcore gorehound and are only used to Italian and US splatter, give this one a go - you'll be very surprised.

There 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.

I should start off by saying that I am a huge gorehound. I like movies that take things to the extreme. I heard of this movie through watching the infamous Guinea Pig series. A person from IMDb specifically told me if I liked that series that I should love Naked Blood. After a few months of searching for this title I finally came across it. What I thought was going to be a straight splatter fest turned into a rather psychological film that just happened to have some really disturbing elements to it.

The storyline is not really what is in the forefront of the movie, more or less, it was the atmosphere and moodiness of the film (and of course the gore), but I will give a brief description anyway. A 17 year old boy genius has created a serum that if injected will turn pain into pleasure. He decides to test it on three girls and the results are exactly what you think they might be.

This film is so much more then that brief description, though. There is a lot of bizarre elements to the film that in one viewing couldn't possibly be understood. Hell, I don't even know if multiple viewings could sum up what the meaning of this film is. If you have seen this movie, you should know what I am talking about. If you haven't seen this then just watch it for yourself.

In my opinion, this was a great movie. Easily becomes one of my favorites. If you can find it, buy it. 9/10

Eiji,a young scientist invents serum called Myson which transforms the pain into pleasure.His mother is conducting medical experiment on three young women.Eiji decides to mix his serum with the experimental product that his mother is working on.Soon the girls start to hurt and mutilate themselves with a strange pleasure at doing it.The three main female actresses are truly interesting characters-one is obsessed with eating and her obsession later results in incredibly graphic and shocking self-cannibalism scene,another is obsessed with her image.The third,Rika Mikami suffers from extreme form of insomnia-a condition brought by the trauma of her first period."Naked Blood" is a slow-moving film filled with moments of totally extreme gore.The scene where one of the girls slowly eats her own nipple and eye has to be seen to be believed!Still the film is pretty difficult to understand,so fans of mindless Hollywood's horror should avoid it.A must-see for fans of Japanese extreme cinema.10 out of 10!

NAKED BLOOD is one of those movies that go way too far, showing the viewer things they don't want to see with no apology whatsoever. I had heard how extreme it was and wanted to see it. I was not disappointed, because there's an actual story happening here, not just mindless gore. Not that there's anything wrong with mindless gore...I just wasn't

prepared for the film to be so thought-provoking and beautiful.
