A very simple and skelletal plot and lots of slightly illogical events make up "Donor", directed by Masato Sasaki. Yuka, a brand new nurse to Kamioka hospital, finds herself in a very strange set of circumstances - random violent hysterectomies about, yet strangely enough, the Hospital director nor her doctor husband seem to have any interest in finding out just what is going on. Yuka stumbles on strange experiments involving the stolen uteri, but rather than get the heck out of the hospital like any normal person, she decides to stay to solve the mystery. With this movie, one is left to ask a few questions - why is it always nighttime? Why does the entire hospital only seem to employ 2 doctors and 4 nurses? Perhaps because the hospital only seems to have one patient or so? There are lots of little illogical things going on here. Did the director run out of money before he could hire some extras? Did he only get the hospital to film in for one night? Does it matter? A very formulaic horror plot, only worth a look if you are into low budget Japanese horror movies.

The premise is fantastic.Nurses at a hospital are being murdered and their vaginas are cut out.The culprit is a mad doctor who works at the hospital,he is stitching together his own artificial womb from the bits he has collected.Why? Because he has had a sex change and is planning to conceive a child with his own (male) D.N.A clone, therefore producing a child of pure medical genius to carry on the tradition!!Wow.But,as great as all this is on paper,the end product is very dull due to it's cliche' horror movie trappings.And too many red herrings as well.A real shame.
