disappointing, muddled mess

After reading how violent this film was and that it had been banned even in Japan, I must admit I was excited about seeing it. After watching it multiple times, I still can't get much plot out of it. I got more from reading the back of the case than from the movie... As for the supposed over-the-top gore, I wasn't impressed. The effects are straight out of a Henenlotter or HG Lewis flick and there are more greens and yellows than red. I saw nothing so offensive that it would need to be censored. Visually, the film was interesting, with very vibrant colors. Is it violent and perverse? Yes. Is it as bloody as it's billing? No. I think it was an incoherent mess, comparable to "Tetsuo".
