Freshly Baked Terror

Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the Crust takes our favorite, and hopefully only, killer cookie into an almost Lloyd Kaufman scenario mixed with Puppet Master and sprinkled with a smattering of Ghoulies. The movie is a mess and has ditched the restrained humor from the first movie and replaced it with ...

Out of the oven... and into your heart!

Charles Band's 2005 horror comedy, The Gingerdead Man, is a very typical, very insincere slasher with the bad guy quite literally falling out of the slasher flick cookie-cutter. From the offset it becomes obvious that this movie is not going to take itself seriously, the story is almost instantly ri...

Nudity, Necrophilia, Violence and Murder
Posted on 06/24/2010 by Hellbound Heart
If a single film or title could do more to encapsulate the spirit of Horror Extreme than the gung-ho wrongness that is Gorotica then I've yet to find it. Let's look at the all-important stats, shall we. The film contains nudity, necrophilia, violence and murder, all lovingly presented in an incredib...

More Craziness from Takashi Miike
Posted on 08/27/2009 by Pazuzu Iscariot
Never known to conform (well maybe One Missed Call was conforming), the crazy brain of Takashi Miike delivers another 1.48333 hours of Yakuza profoundness with Gozu (Gokudo kyofu dai-gekijo: Gozu, which translates as Grand Theatre of Perversion and Fear: Cow's Head). The movie starts off as a peculi...

King of Japanese Grotesque Movie
Posted on 08/21/2009 by Pazuzu Iscariot
With all the surrounding hype and it's UK banning by the BBFC, extreme horror fan's expectations have been set quite high for Kôji Shiraishi's Japanese exploitation flick Grotesque (Gurotesuku). It is a travesty that the movie was banned for trivial reasons such as being "an unrelenting and escalati...

I desperately want to do something. Anything will do. I want to suppress this urge.

Say what you like about Japanese director Shion Sono, but let's all agree on one thing: he doesn't care for drab opening scenes. This much is true of the staggering Guilty of Romance (2011), the first film I have seen of this year and undoubtedly one which will wind up on my top films list at the en...

Japanese Horror Extreme

Guinea Pig 2: Flower of Flesh and Blood (Za ginipiggu 2: Chiniku no hana) is one sick little Japanese horror movie, I say little because it's only about 45 minutes long and I say sick because it's about 42 minutes of blood, guts and gore executed in the most sadistic manner possible. Guinea Pig 2 is...

Or "Shudder! The Man Who Doesn't Die"
Posted on 03/29/2010 by Pazuzu Iscariot
Following the controversy of the first two Guinea Pig Movies, The Devils Experiment and Flowers of Flesh and Blood, Guinea Pig 3: He Never Dies (Za ginipiggu 3: Senritsu! Shinanai otoko... which translates to Shudder! The man who doesn’t die) adopts a much more light hearted approach to displaying u...

There's something fishy happening upstairs
Posted on 05/18/2010 by Pazuzu Iscariot
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...

The fifth of the Guinea Pig movies to hit the small and dirty screen is Android of Notre Dame, Kazuhito Kuramoto's attempt to recapture the serious tone of the more controversial episodes using innocents as the objects of experiments while maintaining the fantasy element introduced after Flower of F...

Sick Chick (with Dick)
Posted on 05/31/2010 by Pazuzu Iscariot
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...

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...
