Wow! Such a good movie.

... View MoreIt's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

... View MoreOn their way home, three amateur baseball players pass by a new 'massage parlour' offering very reasonable rates. Two of the friends talk the third, who is due to be married, into paying the place a visit. What the trio don't realise is that the girls are under orders to chop off their customers' cocks! A completely insane slice of sexy comedy/horror from Japan, Horny House of Horror is a whole lot of fun if you like your entertainment demented, trashy and very bloody from start to finish.After the guys are allowed to inspect the girls' butts to ensure quality, customer number one is taken into a room where prostitute Nonoko (Asami) emasculates the poor guy with a mechanical toothed device attached to her pussy. A few gallons of blood are sprayed all over.Client number two is shackled and forced to watch an erotic dance by hooker Kaori, but is told by the katana wielding manager that he will have his member sliced off should he get an erection. Cue even more gallons of blood.The final guy, the one who entered the place under duress, gets Nagisa, played by sexy Saori Hara, who doesn't enjoy her work as much as the other two girls, and finally admits to her intended victim that the place is a Sex Parlor from Hell where the customers must die. The pair decide to flee, but with the building loaded with hidden cameras, escape isn't going to be easy.At only 75 minutes long, Horny House of Horror never outstays its welcome, and packs an awful lot of deranged nonsense into its short running time, including acid sex lube, fart gags, eyeballs splatting against the screen, a graphic disembowelment, a Bond-style villain named Shitaragi (I shitaragi you not!) and a severed schlong in an ash-tray (with the tip optically fogged out, as are any of the AV starlets naughty bits).
... View MoreI just read a review that stated this was one of the better ones. Don't be too fooled by this. That doesn't mean it's actually good. It's just better than other ones (apparently, I can not actually be 100 % sure if that's true, haven't seen a lot of them to be honest), which seems like a sad fact.I had hoped for more Gore, the nudity part did not really bother or interest me. Acting wise, it didn't deliver either. The one location thing didn't really elevate the movie either (apart from a couple of scenes that is). If you lower everything, expectations and such, you might be able to have fun with it and enjoy it as a "party" movie with friends
... View MoreThis low-budget Japanese movie somewhat resembles one of the late 80's/early 90's no-budget efforts of American directors like Fred Olen Ray, Dave Decoteau, or Jim Wynorski ("Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers", "Evil Toons", "Beverly Hills Vamp"). It has a small cast isolated at a single location and it relies a lot on topless female nudity and rather tame softcore sex, with bone-headed humor mitigating the actual horror and gore. Befitting the new millennium though, it's much more outrageous. It has the same basic plot as "Beverly Hills Vamp" with a lot of horny guys being dispatched by prostitutes at a sinister brothel/massage parlor, but there is more of an emphasis on bloody castration scenes, although they're still played strictly for laughs.The three female leads are all played by former AV (adult video) starlets. The most famous is Asami, who has been in a lot of films like this and is relatively talented in that she can play both a badass and a more traditionally submissive female role. She gets to do both here. And if you find it either funny or sexy (I don't really), she and her male partner here both end up farting in each others' faces at different points. Asami and the other girls show a lot of "T", but not enough "A", and of course no "V" (or "P"?) since this is Japanese. The Japanese optical fogging here is downright bizarre. The dismembered, uh, members of the male victims turn up at several points, but they optically fog only the tips so they look like Vienna sausages (and wouldn't they deflate after all the blood ran out of them?). More annoying though is the optical fogging of the front of Asami's see-through, chain-mail underwear.This movie is actually pretty entertaining though aside from the less- than-hot sexual content. It holds together well throughout with martial arts and sword fighting at the end (including a memorable scene of one character having her eyes literally knocked out). There's also a nice mean-spirited twist at the very end involving one the male characters, who is a virgin and has resisted the deadly hookers because he is trying to stay faithful to his fianceé. Don't necessarily expect a hot sex romp, but this is kind of a FUN movie.
... View MoreFashion HellThree guys go to a cheap brothel called Shogun, where the girls remove customers of their penises in violent ways (i.e. biting into a sushi dick roll). Unfunny and unsexy cheap gore comedy (indebted to Takao Nakano) has a few surprises not worth waiting for, and wastes the sultry talents of three adult video actresses (Saori Hara, also in 3D SEX AND ZEN, Mint Suzuki and Asami) who have done good dick-stiffening work in their regular gigs. Released outside Japan as Part 2 of the Nippon Splattererotics series (between THE BIG TITS DRAGON and EROTIBOT).
