English title: The Naked and The Living Dead

I copped this unsubtitled flick--Youki Kaidan Zenshu (using the title from the cover art)--based on Hiroshima Video's claim that "this movie kicks the sh!t out of Daisuke Yamanouchi in so many ways!" Unfortunately, it didn't. In fact, it was just retarded softcore horror-themed porn. Just wanted to warn some of you away that might think this is some sort of "extreme" film. It's not but it is somewhat amusing.

Basic premise is that a mad scientist snatches up people and turns them into his mindless slaves--such as a zombie, a girl ninja, a zombie maid that shoots nipple darts at one point, and an old guy. There's a cute girl detective on this cat's case and she means to stop his evilness. Somewhere along the line, a young girl is abducted and turned into a TV (?) filled with organs and her eye is scarred in a way that makes her look like that little mutant girl in Total Recall(??).

Pretty incoherent mess with some sleazy rapes, big boobs, and dumb gore (a lame arm skinning/acid bath scene comes to mind) thrown in for good measure and better than average video quality that sadly really does beat the sh!t outta Yamanouchi's work. I can't really recommend this flick but it's worth a couple chuckles. A generous 6/10. I can't make this sound as bad as it really is.
