How sad is this?

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Katsuhiko Fujii, whose output has mostly been very dull and repetitive S & M-oriented opuses, tries something with a little more meat here.Influenced by Craven's LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT and Fruet's superior THE HOUSE BY THE LAKE, the story involves two siblings (women, of course) whose apartment is invaded by a psycho with rape and torture on his mind.But what sounds like potentially volcanic material is squandered on Fukii because he's not up to the task, technically, of visually essaying the potential horror of this stock set-up.Sisters Rei Akasaka and Megumi Kiyosato are strong opposition to Kiriko Shimuzu's headcase and are carnally alluring, but the uncreative coverage of the atrocities blunts the overall effect.Like Sato's LOLITA VIBRATOR TORTURE, this is all pregnancy and no delivery.English title: FLESH SLAVES: BEAUTIFUL SIBLINGS
