Quotes

Takafumi Katayama: People tend to divide things into two categories, then they decide which group they belong to. It provides them with an identity and a sense of security.

Crazy Credits

After all the end credits have rolled, we see the 5 people viewing the film-within-a-film standing/sitting uncomfortably in the waiting area, for a second or two. Nothing is said, then the screen goes dark, finally.

User Reviews

Cheap

Storyline is about some S&M females whose roles are to surprise, whenever and wherever, a sales clerk who has signed up for this experience at a bondage club. If you have ever seen a '50s scifi remastered film on the tele (they were really bad, mostly to inexperience, but also lack of CGI special effects) then that is what this film will look like. You keep waiting for the film's S&M females to morph into aliens and a couple sort of did with slightly differently shaped bodies towards the end. Cheap special effects include a film overlay of a pulsation emanating from the head of our salesman whenever he is being surprised and a case of grenades (why they are in the film was cheap, dumb and pointless) left behind by the females. Used, also with really cheap explosion effects, upon the S&M females as they seek to attack our poor salesman at his home. Not funny/comedic, unless you expand that definition to include every activity imaginable. No hidden deep message. I worry a little about Japanese culture with its male obsession with how females should convey themselves sexually, e.g. commonly found in animė.
