weird flick, typical Eastern
26 May 2011
I've been hunting this one for years, I mean, the real stuff. It's easy to obtain as a download but I wanted the VHS. It never had a proper release and is only available on Japanese VHS. Even then it's hard to find and when you do you will have to pay over 100$ or more. Was it worth that hard earned cash, because some love it but most of the geeks hate it. Luckily I didn't hate it. It wasn't that gory as I expected but still it do delivers. First of all what I was surprised of was that it had some full frontal nudity without the blurred pubic hair so typical for Japanese flicks. It is offending in their believe to show the genitals. But here they were all in tact. The centipede's do attack and there were no effects used, it was the real stuff. Real animals were used and by saying that there is even some animal cruelty by skinning a chicken alive, once done she's decapitated so for animal lovers, leave this flick on the shelves. If you can't take flicks about wizards and voodoo stuff or doesn't really like Eastern flicks again don't watch it. Some scene's are indeed not for the squeamish, for example the vomiting scene's were a girls vomits centipedes who are alive. Nevertheless, strange flick, glad I found it finally after years of searching. And some effects are indeed passé but don't be annoyed by that. Low on gore or blood but high on weirdness.
