View MorePart 3 in this set of harakiri/suicide weirdness...This one has another costume-clad chick - this time dressed as a nurse, who exposes her midsection and tits, and guts herself with a knife. After that, she also stabs herself in the tit...the end...A couple differences with this one...First off, this girl actually disrobes all the way, which enhances the realism a little bit. She is still wearing panties, but you do see her legs so you know that it's not some kind of fake lower-half that is used for the gut-slicing FX. This enhances this entry in my opinion - and again - I'm grasping for reasons to give or take points with these films, as they're all primarily the same thing. This one also seems to have a strange sexual "tint", much like the 2nd entry in the series, which adds a very small amount of "originality" to this entry as opposed to the several others...and finally - along with the requisite gut-stabbing, she also stabs herself in her tit, which is a little different. If she would have pulled her guts out, like is shown in some other episodes, this one would have rated as one of the highest in the series, with out it - it kinda falls flat. 6/10 as a harakiri film - 2/10 as a horror/gore film- again, check out Tamakichi Anaru's WOMENS FLESH or PSYCHO: SUICIDE DOLLS for better takes on this genre...
