How on earth this nearly saw the light of day in the UK, the BBFC would have been slaughtered for letting it through!
If you a fan of Devils rejects, Vacancy and the like check it out but if you are like me a little and like at least a little mental stimulation with your gore fix skip this one.
I have to say I'm surprised they even bothered going to the expense and effort of submitting it to the BBFC. I can't see them ever passing it really. Its competently made, and fairly well filmed considering (compared to the Guinea Pig films at least) but really has no emotional content or story. Pretty much just the couple and the torturer, and about 3 locations. Admittedly I saw it with no subtitles but there was obviously not much going on story wise, just abuse and torture in a fairly unpleasant way. As usual for these types of movies, fairly boring and pointless, interspersed with endurance pushing scenes of torture. The only bit of amusing fun gore was the absurd scenes at the end. On the whole not really recommended.
Maybe I'm getting old, but I really can't work out anymore what or who this type of film is made for.
Did you know
- TriviaDistributors of this movie had hoped to be given an 18 certificate for the film, which involves torture such as amputation and eye-gouging. But the British Board of Film Classification said the film featured sexual sadism for its own sake. Also stated that giving the film a rating would involve a "risk of harm" to those viewing it. Therefore no classification was given and selling or supplying the film would now be illegal.
- Quotes
Aki: I've seen your mother before. She's a prostitute in Okubo. A fat whore with caked-on makeup, right? A germ-infested swine. It's definitely her. You look just like her. That thing is the same, too.
The Doctor: "That thing"?... What thing?
Aki: So you're not aware of it?
The Doctor: I'm asking you.
Aki: So you really don't know. I pity you. You've never had many friends, have you? Am I right? Especially girls. They make faces and won't come near you. Only whores, like your mother, or gold-diggers would have sex with you. You've never had a single woman love you, right? Do you know why? Want me to tell you? It's hereditary, from your mother who's a whore. That old prostitute from Okubo who stunk like a skunk. That's why even the drunk wouldn't sleep with her. Get it? Seeing that the old hag didn't tell you, that means she didn't even know about her own stench.
The Doctor: I stink?
Aki: You and your whore mother. You have horrible body odor. Your armpits stink.
The Doctor: Body odor...
Aki: Your sense of smell is bad, right? Hyposmia. That's hereditary, too. You've got the most foul stench that you can't even smell. So there are people like you. The reason people didn't come near you is because you stunk. Even so, if someone really loved you, they would have told you. The fact that no one told you means you weren't loved by anyone. You're doing such idiotic things like this because you're lonely, right? Bull's eye? I pity you. Poor thing. How lonely.
