Initial glances of Tiwa Moeithaisong's bloodthirsty Thai shocker Meat Grinder (Cheuuat gaawn chim) makes you think you are watching Mrs. Lovett serving up Aunt Mei's Dumplings with enough monosodium glutamate to blind all beholders. On this level the movie works very well with plenty of vermillion s...

If you are a sicko looking for 43 minutes of Japanese, unnecessary, sadistic violence in a plotless scenario intended solely to offend the viewer, push the boundaries of what is acceptable in film and provide snuff porno for serial killers throughout Europe then look no further than the first instal...

Guinea Pig 6: Devil Doctor Woman (Ginî piggu 6: Pîtâ no akuma no joi-san) is by far the most asinine entry in the Guinea Pig franchise and a prime example of how a basic premise can be mutated beyond all recognition once the notoriety of a snuff and gore series runs out of creative ways to provide a...

Anyone with the audaciousness to peruse the Guinea Pig franchise will probably know what to expect by part four, a scarce plot with the intention of showing off twisted gore and sadism to disgust and repulse anyone watching. Mermaid in a Manhole (Ginî piggu: Manhôru no naka no ningyo) follows in the...

Although filled with traditional Japanese horror supernaturalness, wild flights of fantasy and schoolgirl beatings, Isola (Isola: Tajuu jinkaku shôjo) is not a traditional J-Horror with long black haired sexy ghosts crawling along ceilings and jump scares via dead people's reflections. The majority ...

If you are looking for a goregasm in a poly-box and are able to cope with the politically incorrect, bizarre and slapstick-verging Manga humour from a movie directed by Yoshihiro Nishimura (use Tokyo Gore Police as a reference) then Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl (Kyûketsu Shôjo tai Shôjo Furanke...

J-Horror movies are not renowned for being sick and disturbing and usually rely on shocks, scares and an abundance of creepiness, Carved – The Slit Mouthed Woman (Kuchisake-onna) breaks this mould and manages to combine supernatural Japanese mythology with relentless depiction of and a flippant atti...

Sticking with what seems to be this month's theme of excessively gory Asian horror movies; the biscuit is awarded to and allowed to be taken away by Samurai Princess (Samurai purinsesu: Gedô-hime).
