Grotesque (2009) - Kôji Shiraishi






http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1352369/

In these post-’”Hostel” days, with the so called torture porn genre having largely taken over the horror field, viewers have consistently been let down by cheap rip-offs and anaemic pretenders which fail to deliver the gore goods. As such, it is no small relief to report that “Grotesque” not only lives up to its title, but also to its billing as ‘the cruellest Japanese splatter movie ever’ – a bold claim indeed, considering that the country was churning out the likes of “Guinea Pig”, “Red Room” and others long before Eli Roth’s “American Pie” gone bad style antics ever painted screens red.

Review: Probably the only thing that this review really needs to confirm is that “Grotesque” certainly is a nasty piece of work. Although Japan has produced a good many cruel and sadistic films, it does indeed stand proudly somewhere near the head of the queue, getting off to a gruesome start, and never really letting up, being unrelentingly brutal throughout. The gore is strong stuff, with graphic dismemberment, chainsaws, eye gouging, genital mutilation and more, obviously marking the film as only being for those with the hardiest of stomachs and an appetite for this kind of thing. Also included are some pretty sick scenes of sexual abuse, and the film is a perverse affair, with bodily fluids other than blood flying around and with much of the torture being inflicted on the victims while they are nude.

All extreme nastiness aside, what really helps to lift the film from the Japanese gore ghetto is the fact that although the budget was obviously low, Koji is a highly talented director who makes good use of his limited resources. Indeed, as a three player piece, with really only one location, most of the money has quite clearly gone on the special effects, which are impressive and convincing. The film rarely flinches away, with most of the violence being onscreen and brought to life through some excellent makeup and prosthetics rather than the kind of weak CGI-blood which has sadly become prevalent in the genre.
