Naked Blood

Sato's extension of his earlier GENUINE RAPE is an incredible transgressive horror movie.A teenage boy sabotages his mother's anti-pregnancy experiments by spiking the test injections with his own endorphin called "Myson".Myson is his own concoction which turns pleasure into pain.The greater the pain,the greater the pleasure.Without wanting to spoil any surprises,i can warn the more weak hearted that there are some shocking scenes (a woman eats her own vagina lips with a knife and fork).But for viewers up to it,it's a fascinating,intelligent dissection of a movie that unwaveringly follows it's own premise no matter where it leads (like prime David Cronenberg for example).And it's a top notch exploitation classic. Sato is a very prolific director who's made countless movies (usually in the areas of sex and violence) since the 80's-but as far as i know,only this and THE BEDROOM are available subtitled in English. Did i mention the Virtual Reality cactus?

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.

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

I watched this film thinking it would be another gore fest like the Guinea Pig series and in some ways it is. Yes, there are disturbing sequences of mutilation, including the much talked about nipple slicing scene. But, there is an intelligence to this movie that lifts it out of the run-of-the-mill splatter territory. The plot involves a teenage boy genius who has invented a mystery potion he names My Son. His mother is a scientist performing contraceptive experiments on three different women, he spikes a harmless contraceptive drug with My Son and films the results, along the way falling in love with one of the subjects. This is an interesting and intelligent movie, while some of the more out-there sequences will put off many it is a must see for people looking for something different.

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.
