Absolutely amazing

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Are people seriously mad that this movie was about zombies...ass...toilets...the dead...and shrieking schoolgirls? When the title literally has all those words in it? And when the film poster has a scantily clad high school girl on it? Who came watching this film expecting Shakespeare? Honestly? Yes, I nodded in acquiescence at accusations that certain Gore is just blanketed porn and perversion. But almost everything is these days. It's art because it's very expressionistic. You don't have to like or understand or admire anyone's art, OK? Hate it or love it, but there's one thing Japan has that other countries don't have an equivalent to and it's Gore. Tarantino does his best to emulate it, but even he still tiptoes along the lines of caution despite knighting Japan's Battle Royale as one of his favorite films ever.I first got exposed to Gore, understanding that it was indeed Gore, when I saw Tokyo Gore Police. The worming dildo, the buxom female aliens giving blow jobs, the cheesy CGI, the squirting and bloody amputations, the female sword swinging heroine who gets molested by her frothing, gross, ugly villains, the larva obsession...it was a big slap in the face compared to Japan's Ringu/The Ring for example.However, I wasn't expecting The Ring when watching this. I was expecting Gore. Who says something called "Gore" is too nasty? *rolls eyes* That's like watching porn and saying the acting and script is horrible. Or like watching children's cartoons and saying the plot wasn't deep enough. Or watching a horror film and saying it was too scary. What the hell, guys? Machine Girl was also a good GORE film. Not saying it was such an amazing film of all the films in the world lol Just a good GORE film. As was Female Scorpion, I believe that qualifies as Gore; Gothic and Lolita Psycho...etc. And I've seen several since.By the time I had seen Tokyo Gore Police I knew what to expect from these other films: a whole lotta absurd, obscene crap. And I LIKE IT. If you don't like it, you don't get Gore. Not that I'm sure what else you were expecting????

Parasites have infested the Japanese populace, turning the country into a zombie hell. A band of survivors must battle these tentacled monstrosities as they emerge (I kind you not) from the anuses of young girls.PROS: I would love to tell you that there was a single one, but the synopsis speaks for itself.CONS: I watched this (or parts of it, anyway) the same day I saw "Chanbara Beauty," a similarly structured Japanese zombie movie. Why? I had the stupid idea that I was missing the new direction in Japanese cinema. From its title to its fixation with scatological humor to its disturbing obsession with underage school girls in anal peril, there's nothing to recommend this film. It wants to be edgy and clever. It desperately attempts to infuse manga mentality into a story that is little more than an excuse for fart jokes and nude female bottoms. I'm certainly not a prude (I liked "Tokyo Gore Police"), but I found it disturbing that there seems to be such a market for this thinly veiled child porn. It's a really sad statement about a culture's legitimization of the criminal/unspeakable, and just how deeply immersed Japanese "art" has become in promoting it.

Five Japanese teens go on a day trip in the woods in the mountains. Maki wants to find a tapeworm so she can stay thin for modeling purposes. The others catch a trout which contains a tapeworm. Maki grosses everyone out by eating the tapeworm. They encounter a zombie, who bites off a finger of Tak's hand. They lose their van to a thief soon after.They happen upon some old buildings, and Maki decides to use the outhouse. While about her business, she is attacked from below by zombies. Maki gets lost in the crowd. Megumi leads the others to relative safety. They fight the zombies, and ultimately get help from Dr Tanaka with a sick daughter Sachi. He explains the transmission method, fish to animal to humans. Tak is infected more directly by the zombie who bit his finger off. The hatching eggs plus Tak's drug use cause the parasite to be quite upset; in this case, Tak's head explodes.Later, Megumi witnesses Tanaka beating a zombie to get him to throw up a parasite so that Sachi can take it down her throat. Then the previous parasite exits. Megumi lets out a startled sound in the middle of this. Megumi and Tanaka have a talk; Megumi's friends walk in during this. Tanaka explains that Sachi has leukemia, and that the parasites keep the disease in check. In return, Tanaka supplies the parasites with hosts. To further that end, he laced the spaghetti he fed them earlier with parasite eggs.Will any of our heroes emerge alive from this nest of horrors? Will Naoi (the nerdy boy of the group) ever get his courage?------Scores------Cinematography: 6/10 Too bright and washed out; sometimes soft focus and low contrast.Sound/subtitles: 4/10 There are several sections where there are no subtitles. This does not aid the understanding of the action of the film.Acting: 2/10 Not much was required, and less was delivered.Screenplay: 2/10 Floor sweepings.Grossness: 10/10 This is from Tokyo Shock, after all. Flatulence, tentacle penetration, excrement, vomiting, zombies, exchange of bodily fluids with zombies, ingestion of parasites. Did I mention zombies? Consumption of human flesh, dismemberment, gore, blood fountains; ugly, rotting, dead zombies; flies on zombies. Alien parasites entering the beginning of the alimentary tract, and exiting the lower end. Exploding heads, and flying via flatulence.

With such a title, no one expects great cinematic achievement, yet with similar story lines and themes as Prometheus with a trillionth of this budget, this parody will make you laugh much harder. The CGI is not as good, mostly, tongue-in-cheek, but just when you think things could not get more outrageous, the movie manages to top itself. Obviously, frequent use of asses sets it apart, but gross outs, goo, zombies, aliens, orifice penetration, the origin of man, creation, the meaning of life, betrayal, nerdy biologists, bizarre surgical procedures, self sacrifice, ass kicking, and survival feature prominently just as in the big budget film. Put yourself in the proper mood, and this movie will deliver.
