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????
