Who payed the critics

Just so...so bad

From my favorite movies..

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

The story line makes no sense. The movie is sick and disgusting. It doesn't make sense to watch this movie; I don't know why I did though :(It is not exactly a horror movie. Nothing in this movie will actually scare you. It is like watching a sick psychopath massacre innocent people.I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.This movie made me realize that even Japanese people are into such kinds of useless things; I always assumed Japanese have a rich culture and all that.

Well I watched this movie the same way I cook my chicken No matters how you cook it it will taste the same. So I thought to give a change to this chicken. Is very rare to watch a movie nowadays and say, wow We deal with Hollywood big money as we deal with Juntin In music. Everything is fake and bad and people makes you Think is the only one truth. Well this is a movie that goes to your nerves, Is not the gore of this movie that caught my attention If was the cruelty and the love in extreme situations. When you are completely lost what you decide or when the Pain brakes you. Was like an eternal lover looking for Real love. But the last scene ...lost. So we come back it was jusf not to find somebody as he said in the Beginning of the movie. Just a psichopath with a movie. Or at least the end of the movie can give you more. Little more. Well done, very well directed. Good fx for the age . the only sifference with other serial killers movies is with this one you will not laugh. For me recommended +18

"Grotesque" is a Japanese horror movie directed by Koji Shiraishi year 2009. This film only runs for at least 70 minutes.Not much plot is in this movie. A sick doctor kidnaps a couple and torture them in different ways, often in gory ways.As a torture movie, this film can clearly be classified as a "torture-porn", or more likely "gorno". With a lot of torture throughout this film, it can also be called a modern variant of the infamous "Guinea Pig"-film series, especially the first two movies being "Devil's Experiment" and "Flower of Flesh and Blood", which "Grotesque" seems to pay a homage to.Like other films like "Ichi the Killer" and "Murder-Set-Pieces", this film was said to be available in Norway with an 18-rating, only to get banned later by Medietilsynet (the Norwegian answer to MPAA). Even on the Danish DVD I have it clearly says that this film is banned both in Norway and the UK.In the UK this film is banned by BBFC, because this film has minimal narrative or character development and features more humiliation, brutality and sadism.Absolutely NOT for weak stomach and any viewer under the age of 18.So, can you manage to stomach through this Japanese hell of a movie, which is even worse than "Hostel" and "Saw" altogether?

For years I have watched some of the most graphic, intense, and disturbing movies that I can find. This isn't because I'm some twisted weirdo or anything, but because I'm an all-encompassing cinephile that can and has given 10 star ratings to movies from Beauty And The Beast to Antichrist. To truly love all that film has to offer, you have to understand all that film has to offer.When you watch extreme cinema, you have to know that the violence and imagery is, if used correctly, serving a purpose, which is usually to heighten your senses of pity, disgust, sympathy, repulsion, etc. Also, it's best if the film has some sort of purpose: Salo is a metaphor for how the upper-class treats and exploits those that they deem below them, Hostel is a satire on the image of the ugly American that has been experienced by other countries, and I could keep going.This brings me to this film, Grotesque. Without ruining the film (it does that on its own), I will say that there is only the slightest bit of back-story (which is lazily done and seems it might have been an afterthought), and no attempt at putting any of this within context. Bottom line: a guy abducts a couple and brutally tortures them. That's it. No point, no reason, no character development, nothing.Not only that, it's a technically flawed film as well. The cinematography is horrible: hand-held zoom-ins, overdone color filters, and an overall poor job. It doesn't help that the majority of the film is very dark and shot on digital video, so you get that annoying video blur whenever the camera moves. In terms of writing, for the most part there isn't any. When the film finally gets to a point when the characters are saying something other than "Please stop!" or "Why are you doing this?!", they act in a way that makes absolutely no sense. People that would have gone through what they went would never, ever, show the signs of acceptance or gullibility that they do. They would be hardened or almost catatonic. If that's not enough, the finale radically shifts the tone for seemingly a cheap laugh in a movie that hasn't earned or even tried to get that reaction at any time beforehand.Whenever I see someone review a film with this level of violence and knock it, even if I think it's great, I understand. These type of films are not everyone's cup of tea. When they say it was just pointless violence, however, I usually check out of the movie and assume they did the same with the movie. With Grotesque, I guarantee I never check out of the film. I stuck with it. I assumed there would eventually be a twist or revelation that would give this film a reason to exist. I assumed wrong.
