Koji Shiraishi's nasty, exploitative mockumentary about a serial rapist looking for his 108th victim.
Unlike the director's infinitely more complex supernatural horror offerings, this one is as simple as that premise sounds; the only notable characters in the film, aside from the titulary antagonist and one unfortunate girl, are two documentary crew members who follow him as he commits his misdeeds. He celebrates his "serial rapist lifestyle" and decides to find a special girl for its 10th anniversary. He wants to rape her and have it all filmed and even narrated (?!).
Even if the film isn't at all gory as you might expect (not a drop of blood through all this), it is still uncomfortable and degrades everyone to the most primal level. The atrocious rapist character is reminiscent of the antagonist from Record of Sweet Murder, but you couldn't quite place him this easily. The supernatural aspect of that film helped it create an aura of mystery, while here none of that's present. You simply have this crazy guy who humiliates, rapes and kills anyone he pleases, and no one wants to stand up to him.
Shiraishi dedicates this to "all the dirty bastards out there", so at least he knows his audience. If a depraved, exploitative mockumentary sounds like your thing, check this one out. Otherwise, stay far away.
