Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

As strange and twisted as this movie is, it manages to be completely surreal, and at times subtle. it was a crazy experience to say the least.

The second full-length Takashi Miike movie ive seen, "Ichi The Killer" being the only other. i was surprised with the overall package here. theres only one scene you could really constitute as violence, and even that is pretty hilarious in its own way. this one is out there, even for Miike. i dont want to list too much of the oddities, as thats already been done very heavily (reading them took some of the fun out of this movie for me) ill just say ive seen ichi 3 times and imprint twice, and his movie had me scratching my head in awe and confusion many times.

things start off looking like a yakuza film, but the tide turns fast as the main character is charged with killing his superior.. and best friend. early into the movie his friend disappears out of nowhere, and thus begins the search.. and an excellent journey into what may be another realm (nothing is really explained, which may put off some viewers, but i think it all just added to the intrique)

good camera work(some scenes are excellently atmospheric) lots of good laughs, although you may wander why your laughing, and a story that'll keep you guessing long after the credits(i still am)

you'll have the best experience with this movie if you just go ahead and watch it. dont read the spoilers in many reviews on here, i cant imagine how great this would've been if i hadnt known what was going to happen.

any fan of Takashi or generally strange cinema - buy this now!

This is one of my favorite movies ever, and definitely the best work famed director, Takashi Miike, has ever made.

This special DVD comes loaded with awesome features, which is actually kinda rare for a foreign release, and you definitely get your money's worth.

Like David Lynch? (Especially Lost Highway, which this film kind of echos) Then you're going to LOVE Gozu.
