The title of the DVD on Tokyo Shock is "Japanese Hell" so it is a bit hard to find on IMDb under that name. At any rate, we have a young lady who is given a chance to take a look at Hell without dying and going there, so that she may tell others that it isn't the happening place to be. It's also a chance for her to see where she's headed if she doesn't straighten up and fly right, too. Now, she is or will be a member of the Shinrikyo Cult, you know, the folks that used Sarin gas on the subway a few years back? That part of the movie is quite creepy, as cult members run around wearing masks of The Great Leader. Kind of Charlie Manson from the Land of the Rising Sun. Anyway, the Hell parts are quite explicit and gory but they're also kind of campy and look to be pulled off by a bunch of amateurs at times, what with demons and dragons and other creepies running about. It was nice to see the attack on the lawyers for the Shinrikyo cult though, I see contempt for lawyers is a universal thing, not just an American phenomenon. Overall though I was a little puzzled by this whole thing, as in, what the HELL am I watching? I guess it wasn't bad but it's hard to say how it was intended to be taken. Not too seriously, I hope!
